An important victory. This Saturday, January 30, 2021, the RC Lens (Pas-de-Calais) moved on the lawn of Montpellier, as part of the 22nd day of Ligue 1, with the desire to make up for it after the defeat at home against Nice. Thanks to the genius of Doucouré and Kakuta, the Sang et Or have won 2 goals to 1. Summary.
Doucouré’s cannon shot
An entry cannon! As we know, Lens is comfortable away from home. Franck Haise’s players prove it again this Saturday. From the start of the match, the Blood and Gold take the Southerners by the throat. Doucouré will confirm the good Lensois start with a long shot following a set-piece badly negotiated by the locals (7th).
The Malian scores the first goal from outside the area this season for the Artesiens. As on the first leg, the match is very open. Montpellier misses the equalizer in the wake of a corner. Laborde recovers the leather within 16 meters, tries the pointy but Fortes clears the danger (12th).
Montpellier residents are emboldened and it is now up to them to dominate the debates. Lens suffered without wavering. Even when Laborde rises higher than everyone else, Leca is there to deliver a classy stop on his line (43rd).
Montpellier maintains the suspense
The great class, Kakuta there too. While Lens sticks out his tongue, the Lensois playmaker breaks the hopes of the Paillade players with a brilliant goal. The number 10 is served in the middle by Doucouré, he eliminates his direct opponent before sending a missile into the cages of Bertaud (67th).
Racing is doing well and widening the gap at La Mosson, without being really superior to its evening opponent. Montpellier grows and no longer leaves the artesian camp. Leca must work twice to stop Sambia’s powerful free-kick attempts (74 and 76).
But after Doucouré and Kakuta, it is Wahi who offers himself a moment of grace. Sambia centers in a bell in the Lensoise area and the young French striker tries a scissor which deceives the Corsican goalkeeper (77th). The MHSC reduces the mark: we will have to hold on!
Franck Haise feels that his charges are weakening and decides to bring in Badé and Cahuzac to restore order to the blood and gold rearguard.
The essays :
MHSC : Bertaud; Congré, Hilton (C), Mendes (Souquet, 63e); Zambia, Ferri, Chotard, Ristic; Dolly (Wahi, 63rd), Laborde, Mavididi (Skuletic, 87th).
RC Lens : Leca (C); Michelin, Fortes, Medina; Clauss (Badé, 81st), Doucouré, Fofana (Cahuzac, 89th), Haidara; Kakuta (Mauricio, 72nd); Banza (Kalimuendo, 72nd), Sotoca.
