Before welcoming Sevilla FC in the Champions League, RC Lens was held to a draw on the Montpellier pitch (0-0), at the opening of the 15th day of Ligue 1.
The RC Lens supporters who made the trip to Hérault were finally authorized to take their place in the visitors’ parking lot at La Mosson, after a nice legal imbroglio sadly typical of French football today. But it will be the only victory of the day for Sang et Or fans, who did not see their team win in Montpellier (0-0), at the opening of the 15th day of Ligue 1.
Franck Haise’s men took a while to get into this match, like this failed control by Abdul Samed on a restart from Samba, which offered the first opportunity of the match to Joris Chotard (9th). Another symbol, these two yellow cards received by Danso and Frankowski in the first quarter of an hour for poorly controlled tackles.
Clumsy wahi
Lens then had a few opportunities, through Frankowski (29th), or twice through Elye Wahi (37th). For his return to Montpellier, the French international hopefuls undoubtedly dreamed of scoring, but he lacked skill in front of goal, particularly on this counter where he was launched perfectly by the very good Neil El Aynaoui (60th). In the process, it was Montpellier who had two match points, also against, but Akor Adams found Brice Samba’s gloves twice (69th, 87th).
Racing will be content with this point on the road, which allows it to go on to a tenth consecutive match without defeat in the championship, and to quickly turn towards the duel on Tuesday evening against Sevilla FC, where it is the European future of club that will be played. Montpellier, for its part, is now six matches without a win with only two goals scored in this series. It’s time to look down the table for the MHSC.
