Despite four suspended players and no less than five injured, the RC Lens, very diminished, went to fill up in Lens this Sunday evening on behalf of the 25the act of the French championship (0-1). Less inspired by the offensive than usual, the Marseillais cracked in additional time.

After missing the mark twice on the counter, the Sang and Gold had the ultimate Happy Bleur, thanks to a long uncertain El Aynaoui for this meeting (0-1, 90e+4). Cruel for OM but not totally undeserved, as Roberto's men de Zerbi played against time this Saturday, without much offensive impact.

Second place threatened

Ryan, the Lensois porter, has certainly made decisive parades in his cage, but the offensive going there for the Phocaeans this evening – like the Greenwood and Luis Henrique left on the bench at the start and finally unable to bring their stone to the building at their entrance at the start of the second period.

For OM, the result is all the more unfortunate since Nice, opposed to Lyon on Sunday evening, can pick up in the classification in case of success, and even chew his second place. The evening is beautiful on the other hand for a RCL which after four consecutive setbacks relaunches in the race for Europe.
