Lens did not come close to the feat: that of taking out PSG in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France, which has not happened for 34 years. But immediately after leading the score thanks to a goal granted to Nzola, the Artésiens lost control and conceded the equalizer from Ramos. It was finally the cruel exercise of penalties that the meeting gave birth to its outcome (1-1, 3-5 tab). To the greatest regrets of Adrien Thomasson, frustrated at the microphone of beIN Sports.
“It didn’t go far, the scenario is cruel, especially after leading the score. We concede an avoidable goal and it’s a bit of a penalty lottery… We had prepared them but that’s how it is, there’s a lot of disappointment this evening, because we created some big situations in the second half -time. We perhaps deserved to score a second goal, but it depends on the details. We will have to build on this match because overall, I think we played a coherent match», expressed the Lensois midfielder.
