The two promotes had a lot to do to launch their season in Arkema Première League. While Olympique de Marseille moved to the lawn of Olympique Lyonnais, the RC Lens received PSG. But if OM was left for a logical defeat (3-1), the Northerners created the surprise.
In a Bollaert stadium where no less than 10,712 spectators had massaged, thus establishing a new crowd for the club, the Sang and Gold held the high dragee in the Parisians and snatched the draw in the last minutes.
Nevertheless, the joy was short -lived for the northern camp. Consequence of the reserve laid down by PSG at the end of the meeting. Arrival of Saint-Etienne, Louann Archier was indeed on the match sheet when she was suspended for an accumulation of warnings received at the end of last season.
PSG can be confident
The outcome of the complaint has little doubt and PSG should have a match won. Worse, the Artesian club risks a penalty. “” This subject has extremely unpleasant and unfortunate external consequences. It will be treated internally. It is unacceptable that a club like the RC Lens finds itself in such a situation after a heroic match, for its first in the first league “, said Benjamin Parrot, director general of the RCL, to La Voix du Nord.
“Playing against a team like PSG, which is one of the best in Europe, succeeding in hanging it, take more than 10,000 people behind us …,” continued the northern leader. And there is this invalidation of the result which will be born, not only from a stammering, but from a real administrative error … “
Note that the RCL is not in its first setbacks in this area. Last year, the Federation had inflicted 4 points of penalty on the RC Lens reserve, which was playing in N3, for having played a player, Nidal Celik, arrived outside the transfer period. A penalty for many in the relegation of the reserve in regional 1 at the end of the season.
