Danso takes a yellow
The Lensois defender is booked by Thomas Leonard for an anti-match gesture.
5 additional minutes

Samba takes a yellow
To save time, Brice Samba takes a yellow card.
Double change for Lens
Franck Haise brings two new changes with the voices of Onana and Boura in place of Gradit and Machado.
Another opportunity for Lens
Certainly the opportunities for Lensoise follow one another at the end of the match. Fofana finds Claude-Maurice at the far post but he can’t restart because he wanted to score.
What a rescue from Mendy
Mendy is well placed on Sotoca’s head to save his field as the Lensois’s head seemed to be taking the direction of the goal.
Great opportunity for Openda
Loïs Openda throws himself deep and tries to overflow Blazic but the Angevin defender deflects slightly for a corner.
Capelle is cautioned
Pierrick Capelle is booked for dispute. This is the first card of the evening.
New changes for Angers
Adrien Hunou and Farid El Melali are replaced by Sada Thioub and Himad Abdelli for the last quarter of an hour of this match.
Perreira Da Costa sort
Immediately after hitting the post, Perreira Da Costa comes out and is replaced by former Niçois Alexis Claude-Maurice.
The post for Lens
Perreira Da Costa crosses for Sotoca who lets the ball pass. It is the post that saves Yahia Fofana who seemed surprised by this gesture of Sotoca.
Double change for Angers
Gérald Baticle tries to reverse the trend with the entrances of Capelle and Sima instead of Salama and Ounahi.
Anger can’t take it anymore
The Angevins are no longer able to pull out the slightest ball and the Lensois continue to press where it hurts.
Fofana near the door
Seko Fofana was close to scoring a third after Nabil Bentaleb lost the ball just outside his penalty area.
Double change for Lens
Franck Haise makes two changes with the exits of the two scorers. Facundo Medina and Wesley Saïd leave and are replaced by Massadio Haïdara and Loïs Openda.
Fofana wins on a shot from Fofana
The two Fofanas are activated. Yahia Fofana intervenes well on a powerful shot from Seko Fofana.
Medina is affected
After a release Facundo Medina appears to be suffering from right foot. However, the Argentine defender takes his place again.
Medina puts Lens ahead by two goals
Sang et Or breaks on punishment. Frankowski finds Danso on the far post who puts the ball back on axis towards Medina who just has to push the ball.
Salama gets up but …
Amine Salama gets up but seems, despite everything, to suffer and limps a lot.
Salama seems to be suffering
After a fight by Gradit on Amine Salama’s ankle, the Angers striker remains on the ground and the healers come to his bedside.
Resumes in Angers
The 22 players have returned to the lawn of the Raymond-Kopa stadium and the kick-off of the second period has just been kicked off.
It is the interval in Angers
Thomas Leonard whistles the end of this first period. The Sang et Or logically lead to Angers thanks to a goal from Wesley Saïd.
Saïd attempts a return
After a failed recovery by Mendy, Wesley Saïd tries a return but the latter passes just above the cages of Yahia Fofana.
Salama takes the opportunity
Amine Salama takes the opportunity in the first intention on a pass from El Melali but Brice Samba grabs the ball without difficulty.
Perreira Da Costa tennis court
Another great opportunity for Lens! Machado crosses in first intention after a move by Seko Fofana but Perreira Da Costa is too short.
What an opportunity for Angers
The SCO was very close to returning to height. Nabil Bentaleb hits a corner from Hunou’s head who misses the goal by a few centimeters.
Salama rate son Franco coup
While in an interesting position, Amine Salama takes too much out of her jab that doesn’t bother Brice Samba.
Salama gets a good punishment
Nice free-kick by Amine Salama after a foul by Frankowski about twenty meters from Brice Samba’s cages.
Sotoca strikes
After a good move from Lensois, Florian Sotoca takes the opportunity from a distance but Fofana is on the trajectory and grabs the leather.
There is a break
After several consecutive duels, two players remain on the ground without the referee intervening. Gérald Baticle is angry on the bench.
Said close to doubling
What a double opportunity for Wesley Said. David Perreira Da Costa eliminates El Melali and crosses, but the former Tolosain misses a little on the volley which ends just wide.
Fofana catches the ball
Yahia Fofana catches the ball from Sotoca’s cross which was less successful than her previous attempt.
Saïd opens the scoring
Lensois opened the scoring on the first occasion of the match. Florian Sotoca finds a very nice gesture from Wesley Saïd which ends perfectly.
The Lensoi settle down
After a quarter of an hour of observation, the Sang et Or seem to gradually take the measure of the Angevins who are suffering a little more.
Thomas Leonard lets play
From the beginning of this match, the referee let him play a lot and this annoys the Angevin bench.
Good defense of Danso
Kevin Danso intervenes perfectly in front of Amine Salama who was trying to get around the Austrian defender.
Medina Cherche Frankowski
After an interesting maneuver by Lensois, Facundo Medina tries to throw Frankowski but the Argentine’s ball is too long.
Disappointing start
This start of the meeting is particularly disappointing. Both teams make a lot of mistakes and there is some rhythm.
A little awkwardness
The start of this match is marked by some technical errors on both sides.
Samba type
On an opening by Fofana towards Salama, Brice Samba is forced out in front of the Angers striker after a disagreement in defense of Lensoise.
