Lens came back from behind against Clermont (2-1) at the Bollaert-Delelis stadium in the second half and insisted on chasing Paris Saint-Germain, leader of a Ligue 1 that tomorrow will stop at the end of the day of 15 to give -pass the World Cup from Qatar.
Franck Haise’s side have made it five straight victories, sitting second in the standings and just two points behind champions PSG, who host Auxerre on Sunday.
The break is suitable for Clermont, who are installed in a comfortable place, without pressure from relegation, but have gone five games without a win.
Own goals and returns
Not even Pascal Gastien’s team could score points in Lens despite finding themselves, in a stroke of luck, with the scoreline in their favour. From a corner kick, Salis Abdul Samed of Ghana surprised his teammate Brice Samba by trying to clear the ball into his own goal.
Although they clearly dominated, Lens didn’t start to pay off until game time. He equalized on the hour mark through Wesley Said and took the lead eight minutes later after Jonathan Gradit’s fine pass to Ivory Coast’s Seko Fofana, who faced Senegal’s Mory Diaw and put the ball into the net.
