Lens won at the Du Moustoir Stadium against Lorient (1-3) and moved to second place in Ligue 1, as they held off Paris Saint-Germain, who visit Auxerre tonight to complete matchday 36.
Franck Haise’s team is three points behind the competition leaders. If PSG wins at Auxerre, they will again have a profit of six with two days to go. The Parisian club will be almost champions, but not mathematically. For this you have to wait for the next date.
In any case, Lens is a close second place. With the victory, the fifth in a row, achieved against Lorient, they moved past Marseille, third, who lost to Lille on Saturday, by five points.
Franck Haise’s team will finish the course on a high note. Established as the revelation of the season, he had to overcome the initial goal of the local team, which after six minutes was 1-0 thanks to Romain Faivre by taking advantage of a great defensive error by Lens.
The Lens is back
Within five minutes, Lens turned things around, equalizing in the 20th minute through the Ivorian Florian Sotoca after receiving the ball from Seko Fofana and in the 25′ it was Adrien Thomasson led Lens by defeating Yvon Mvogo for the second time.
In the second half, two minutes from the end, fofana secured Lens’ fifth straight win by heading a pass from Alexis Claude Maurice into the net.
