Lens still has everything to do

RC Lens was unable to make the difference once morest Friborg this Thursday in the first leg of the Europa League play-off (0-0).

Reversed from the Champions League where it was able to dominate Arsenal and Sevilla FC at home, RC Lens is favorite in its double confrontation with Friborg in the Europa League play-offs. At half-time of this opposition, however, the two teams remain back to back. With regrets for the Artésiens who played in front of their audience this Thursday evening.

However, unable to frame the slightest shot (0/10), Lens might do no better than a compromising goalless draw before returning to Germany next week. Haïdara found the fault at the end of a confused action in the 70^e minute but the goal which capsized Bollaert was unfortunately not validated. Frankowski having been caught offside on this golden opportunity.

Danso, the miracle

On the opposite sides of the field, the Fribourgeoises ultimately had the best opportunities. Like this crossbar sounded by Sallai (19^e) and this miraculous save from Danso on the Lensoise goal line (58^e). Franck Haise’s men will have to be much more enterprising and threatening in eight days to claim qualification for the round of 16 of the Europa League.
