The incredible Lensoise abnegation
By dint, we are almost no longer surprised.
Led two 0-2, and in numerical inferiority from the 19th minute following the exclusion of Jean-Louis Leca, the Lensois showed incredible moral values this Saturday afternoon to snatch the point of the draw in end of the game (2-2).
It was Seko Fofana, very active in the second act, who sounded the revolt by perfectly finding David Pereira Da Costa (67th) for the reduction of the mark.
Subsequently, the entrants Weslay Saïd and Arnaud Kalimuendo made the difference;
the first causing a penalty, the second transforming it to equalize (81st).
A point obtained with the guts in a Bollaert Stadium in fusion which allows the Blood and Gold to still believe in Europe!

Simon sees double
He could have - should?
- be the man of the match.
Author of the opener in the 8th minute of play with a beautiful cross shot, following a well-inspired deviation of the head from Marcus Coco, Moses Simon subsequently led to the exclusion of Jean-Louis Leca (19th) on a lightning counter-attack.
Very twirling this Saturday afternoon, the Nigerian scored a second goal, this time taking advantage of a strike from Wylan Cyprien repelled by Wuilker Fariñez.
Unfortunately for him and his team, this double was not enough to get the three points.

The decisive Lensois entrants
Substitutes at kick-off, Wesley Saïd and Arnaud Kalimuendo were able to make the difference in the second half.
The first, very stirring through his many sharp calls, allowed his team to obtain a penalty during a duel on the ground with Alban Lafont in the penalty area.
The second decided to take responsibility and take care of it.
Without trembling, the Sang et Or striker placed the ball in the middle of the cages, leaving the Nantes goalkeeper to dive.
An equalizing goal that could be important at the end of the championship.
This is called “winning coaching”.

Lafont at fault
He had already shown small signs of feverishness in the first period by committing a small hand error on an aerial ball.
But at the end of the match, Alban Lafont more or less weighed down his team.
In a duel on the ground with Wesley Saïd, the Nantes goalkeeper lightly - and inadvertently - hit the legs of the Lensois striker ... resulting in a penalty for the Sang et Or. Penalty converted by Arnaud Kalimuendo (81st).
A foul that costs his team two points.
But these teammates should not blame him given his excellent performances since the start of the season.
Leca sees red
He could have been one of the main responsible for the Lensoise defeat.
Established in the goals of the Sang et Or this Saturday afternoon, Jean-Louis Leca made an error of judgment on a long ball in depth intended for Moses Simon.
The 36-year-old goalkeeper thought he could play the ball outside his penalty area but the Nigerian striker was quicker and forced him to make a mistake.
Indeed, in the duel, the ex-Bastiais hit – apparently involuntarily – his opponent.
A fault which led to his exclusion and which forced the Lensois to play in numerical inferiority from the 19th minute.
But at ten against eleven, Franck Haise's players still came back to score.
