Former Nigeria national team captain and goalkepper Vincent Enyeama stood between Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and all three points helping Lille end PSG 17 game winning run in the French Ligue 1.
The game ended 0-0 and despite PSG resting some of their top quality players they still had enough gifted players on the pitch to win the tie but as early as the ninth minute Enyeama denied them what should have been the opener.
A diving Enyeama denied Jean Kevin Augustin when he went through on goal before pulling another top draw stop to deny Javier Pastore and later Layvin Kurzawa.
PSG continued their dominance in the second half but a Di Maria effort posed no problem for the ex Nigeria captain, next to try his luck was Lucas Moura but once again Enyeama was there to push away his long range effort.
