[U19] RC Lens shows its fangs against Valenciennes

And a first derby won this Sunday!

Young people of Yohan Demon received their counterparts from Valencienne this afternoon in La Gaillette. In a very animated game, the Lensois managed to withdraw from the game by winning 4-2.

It was also an opportunity for the under 19s to record some races. The reserve remains docked since it is the “Coupe de France weekend”, so several items like Bonte, Ganiou or Tormin I’m down a notch to play this weekend.

Double for Kessi

But he is the summer rookie Solomon’s case which quickly launched hostilities. In the 13th minute, the Ghanaian sent the leather out of reach of Lassana Diakhaby’s gloves. Lensois will then make a nice gift to Valenciennes with this penalty ten minutes later. He is transformed by Pesin (1-1, 22). But instead of doubting, the Artésiens will widen the gap thanks to Florian Dewaele first (2-1, 30th) then Kessi for the brace signed in the first half (3-1, 36th).

Valenciennes will reduce the gap to ten minutes from the end but even reduced to 10 after the exclusion of Lanchetto (79th), Racing will seal his victory after this goal by Yannick Sidibe (4-2, 85e).

Blood and gold matter 19 points after 8 games, just 3 points from the first, the Montfermeil.
