Finally a victory for Lens!

After five days without, RC Lens signed its first success of the season this Sunday, at the expense of Toulouse (2-1).

We had to wait for six league matches and an exit in the Champions League to finally see the Lensois, outgoing French vice-champions, sign a victory this season. But it was hard ! Facing TFC this Sunday on behalf of the 7e lifted from Ligue 1, the Sang et Or made the difference at the very end of the match (2-1). Not without having been led by the score, what’s more.

Four days after a draw in Seville in C1, Franck Haise’s men, certainly dominant from the start, were the first to break, surprised by the Haut-Garonnais who three days earlier obtained a share of the points against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League. Gelabert, after half an hour of play (0-1, 33e), then dampened Bollaert’s enthusiasm. Cruel punishment.

Thanks to Saïd, however, the Artésiens were able to come back to the score even before the break (1-1, 45e+2). And Guilavogui gave his team the three points with composure in a crazy end to the match happily dominated by the locals (2-1, 84e). Here is Lens 16e and relegated on probation, but now very close to the waterline. The TFC for its part is not far away, 14e at two lengths.
