Serious and diligent, Lens logically won on the pitch of Reims (0-2) this Friday, at the opening of the 13th day of Ligue 1.

Six days later, there was frustration against OM, the goal met with great intensity from the first minutes. An overall domination which can be offset by a dancing save from Diouf. Pushed by numerous and above all very noisy supporters, the Sang-et-Or managed to take the lead thanks to a nice sequence from Thomasson entering the area (0-1, 23rd).

Stung, the Rémois reacted timidly. The two Japanese wingers, Nakamura and Ito, sounded the revolt with hard-hitting rushes without any chances. A danger that could have come from Teuma’s left paw, not precise enough on an ideally placed shot. Before the break, Samba and Diouf pulled out all the stops by repelling tense strikes from Nakamura and Labeau Lascary respectively.

Returning from the locker room, Reims kept up the pressure but the best chances fell to Lens. After a 30-meter detour shot by Diouf, Nzola missed an incredible opportunity to make the break by completely missing his dive. Nothing to doubt the Angolan striker, who made up for it by mystifying two opposing defenders on his network before adjusting the Champagne goalkeeper at close range (0-2, 61st).

Offensive, perhaps a little too much, the Lensois almost got surprised on a clear Ito who lost his means against a Samba of the big evenings. The occasion of a match in the film in Reims is impressive in the final face of the whistle and in the goal and applied in the same sense. When Will Still’s bitterness arrives, Auguste Delaune decides to join the RVL club in Russian.
