A week after having gone to prevail in Le Havre (1-2), the Racing Club of Lens chained this Friday evening with a second success of rank in the league. In its lair in Bollaert-Delelis, the northern club got out of Stade Brestois (3-1), signing its first home victory of the season in Ligue 1. For visitors, the scenario was catastrophic and they still have not won a match after three days.
However, everything had started rather well for the Bretons. Yet tossed and endangered repeatedly, they were the ones who have managed to open the scoring on a counter perfectly concluded by Mama Baldé (0-1, 24th). Enough to join the changing rooms despite global statistics largely to the advantage of the Lensois.
And then everything changed ten minutes after the start of the second period. Leaving alone on the right side, Rayan Fofana was struck by Radoslaw Majecki. Aware of his error, the porter did not flinch when the referee took out the direct red card against him (55th). And Brest did not escape the double sanction since Mr. Kherradji, with the help of the Var, said the penalty point.
Lens climbs, Brest does not take off
Florian Thauvin set off and scored the equalizing goal (1-1, 60th). From then on, the domination of the men of a wise stone has intensified. Despite their good will, the Brestois ended up logically falling a second time. Morgan Guilavogui took advantage of a small general scraper of the opposing defense to push the ball to the bottom of the nets (2-1, 78th).
And Lens even offered himself a third and last goal, work by Adrien Thomasson (3-1, 90th+2). The season promises to be complicated for Eric Roy and Stade Brestois who have a draw and two defeats since the recovery and who could find themselves in the red zone by Sunday evening. As for the Lensois, they temporarily climb to third place with six points on the clock.
