Incredible Lensois! In a Bollaert-Delelis stadium in fusion, the Lensois were able to recover from the red card of Danso then from the opening of the Reims score, to come back and win against Reims (2-1). PSG only have a three-point lead before playing Ajaccio on Saturday.

After a relatively balanced start to the match, it was indeed a fault on the part of defender Kévin Danso who almost ruined the end of the season for Lens. After an avoidable fault in the position of last defender, he was logically excluded, before Folarin Balogun transformed his penalty in stride. Returning to the height on a new penalty at the end of the first half, Franck Haise’s men took advantage of another brilliant shot from captain Seko Fofana to get back in front and not let go of the reins of the match. Europe is not very far for northerners.
