Lens leaves the field open to PSG

Niçois and Lensois parted back to back this Saturday evening on the Allianz-Riviera pitch, after a match counting for the 32nd day of Ligue 1 (1-1).

While they had the possibility of coming back to four lengths behind the Parisian leader in the event of success against the Gym, the Sang et Or struck first in this part, through Saint-Maximin (60th). But everything changed in the space of one action in money time.

Abdulhamid saw red for a foul on Diop at the entrance to the area (82nd), then Abdi equalized for the Aiglons in the wake of the free kick thus awarded (84th).

A hard blow for RC Lens, who remain six points behind PSG and who will have a hard time catching up despite receiving the Rouges et Bleus at Bollaert between the 33rd and 34th acts of the championship.

For OGC Nice, on the other hand, a precious point in the race to maintain their position thus fills the bag. The Auxerre barrage is temporarily pushed back to six points before hosting Angers this Sunday.
