If the series are made to be stopped, the Lens Racing Club arrived there this Saturday. After three and a half years without the slightest success in front of its Lille neighbor, the Artesian club has finally returned to success in the face of the Dogues, which is more in its lair of Bollaert-Delelis (3-0, 5th day of Ligue 1). Enough to jump in the provisional classification and find yourself fifth, a point behind his evening victim.
Before kick -off, everything seemed to plead in favor of a good performance of the Lille. Unbeaten since the start of the season in Ligue 1 (a draw and three victories), the men of Bruno Genesio moved to Lensois counting two successes and two defeats. But the physiognomy of the match gradually turned in favor of the locals.
Despite a first half hour of balanced play, they were the ones who opened the brand through Wesley Said (1-0, 28th). A little blow on the head of the Lille who tried to get back in the right direction before being shaken again by the second opposing goal signed Florian Thauvin (2-0, 43rd). Doubly hard to collect DOGUES supporters who never digested the early departure of the latter at the start of his career.
Lens Recolle on Lille
And the break has not changed anything in the business of visitors since less than ten minutes after the recovery, they fell in love with a realization by Rayan Fofana (3-0, 52nd). Lille asked for a fault at the start of the action, but the Var was not of the same opinion. The Lensois finally raised their arms to the sky with the final whistle, happy to be able to share this moment that the blood and gold audience has been waiting for a long time.
This result is a boon for Lens who is therefore found in European places. As for the LOSC, he misses an opportunity to go back to Lyon and could see PSG taking five points ahead of him, provided that the men of Luis Enrique win this Sunday in Marseille (8:45 pm).
