After a crazy victory snatched on September 10 on the field of Slavia Prague (2-3), Racing Club de Lens returns to the Champions League this Tuesday. The Sang et Or welcomes an opponent of a higher caliber as Sporting Portugal presents itself at Bollaert-Delelis. And the visitors opened the scoring.
However, it was the Lensois who imposed their rhythm at the start of the game. For a quarter of an hour, they put pressure on the Portuguese camps, without however managing to make their highlight come true. And as a result, as is often the case in these cases, it was the opponent who ended up taking advantage.
Luis Suarez, first post and goal
On a ball recovered in midfield, the visitors took advantage of a lack of responsiveness from Lens to launch a quick counter. Nestor Irankunda recovered the ball and went off-center on the left before sending a tight cross to the near post. As a surface fox, Luis Suarez appeared first to deflect the ball and send it into the back of the northern net (22nd).
Hard blow for Robin Risser who had not had a single save to make until then and Lens now forced to react to get back on track.
