Soccer-Lille fight back for deserved point at Nantes


PARIS (Reuters) - Lille battled for a well-earned point at Nantes as substitute Ismaily equalised late on to secure a 1-1 draw in Ligue 1 on Friday.

The Brazilian fullback, newly signed from Shakhtar Donetsk, played a series of intricate passes before slotting home in the 76th minute as Lille came back after Moses Simon put the hosts ahead just before the half hour mark in sweltering conditions.
