Mukau double earns Lille win at Bologna

BOLOGNA, Italy :Jhon Lucumi scored Bologna's first goal of the Champions League but they fell to a 2-1 home defeat by Lille on Wednesday, with Ngal'ayel Mukau netting twice for the visitors.

Lille, who have beaten Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and drawn with Juventus, are 12th in the standings on 10 points while Bologna are 33rd on one point after slumping to a third successive defeat.

Mukau opened the scoring for Lille a minute before the break before Bologna struck through Lucumi in the 63rd minute.

The home fans were still celebrating when Mukau scored his second three minutes later and Bologna were unable to find another goal.

Bologna came into the game as the only side in the competition yet to score, and in the fifth minute they looked to have found the breakthrough but Thijs Dallinga's effort was disallowed for offside.

Lille thought they had found a way through but Alexsandro's header from a corner came crashing back off the upright.

The visitors had another chance when Matias Fernandez-Pardo skipped through the Bologna defence but keeper Lukasz Skorupski was quick off his line to stop him getting his shot away.

Lille did not have long to wait, however, and the goal came from poor Bologna defending. Stefan Posch's attempted clearance came back off teammate Sam Beukema and Jonathan David was quickest to react and pull the ball back for Mukau.

He had time to settle himself for the strike and when Charalampos Lykogiannis blocked the goalbound effort, Mukau made no mistake at the second attempt.

Fernandez-Pardo had another chance to get the better of Skorupski, but again the Bologna keeper got down to snatch the ball away as the Lille forward attempted to take it past him.

Dallinga had a header saved by Lille keeper Lucas
