Angers stunned as Lens claim provisional second place after lens explodes.

This Saturday, Racing Club de Lens received Ligue 1 bottom side SCO Angers at the Bollaert Stadium for the 28th day of Ligue 1. The Nordists won 3-0 thanks to a performance almost perfect in front of their wild public.

Open, encore

During the first 20 minutes, it was possible to think that the Angevins would play a bad trick on the Lensois. They created several interesting situations, without succeeding in deceiving the new French international: Brice Samba. Positioned in a pattern with four defenders at the start of matches, Franck Haise therefore chose to make a tactical change to move to three behind. This is a change that immediately proved its worth. Barely two minutes after changing, the Sang et Or opened the scoring through the intermediary of the Ivorian midfielder: Seko Fofana. This goal allowed them to free themselves. Barely four minutes after opening the scoring, the Lensois doubled the lead thanks to a goal from Lois Openda. Upon returning from the locker room, the Belgian was at the conclusion of a sublime collective action which allowed the Northerners to validate their victory. He scored his 13th and 14th league goals.

In the standings, Racing Club de Lens temporarily takes second place in the championship pending the meeting of Olympique de Marseille against Stade de Reims on Sunday. The SCO of Angers remains blocked at 10 points and in the last position.
