TOLOSA, France (AP) — Loïs Openda continued his scoring run for Lens, who beat Toulouse 1-0 on Tuesday and continued to put pressure on second-placed Marseille in the fight for direct Champions League berths. .
Lens, placed third, is one point below the team from Marseillaise, and can pass them on Saturday, when they will face them.
Openda, who scored twice in the 3-0 rout of Monaco on the previous date, raised his tally of goals for the campaign to 18. He shook the net in the 33rd minute, after a cross from Massadio Haïdara.
The 23-year-old Belgian striker has scored six goals in his last six league games. Toulouse couldn’t keep up the momentum after winning the French Cup on Saturday with a 5-1 thrashing of Nantes in the final.
It sits in 13th place, nine points above the relegation zone.
Paris Saint-Germain has a five point lead over Marseille.
