And Bollaërt-Delelis exploded.
Lens had to wait until the last minutes to win against Lyon at the end of a match which saw them largely dominate (1-0).
A logical success for Blood and Gold sharp from start to finish and who obtained their reward on a penalty caused by the hand of Thiago Mendes and transformed by Sotoca (1-0, 82nd).

Lyon struck first but suffered a lot afterwards
But the home crowd had to wait to see his team break free.
Because for a long time, Franck Haise's men stumbled on a rickety Lyon defense but saved by an always impeccable Lopes.
If Lyon was the first dangerous on a shot, deflected, from Lacazette finishing on the bar (27th), it was Lens who was the most threatening the rest of the time, taking advantage of a less compact Lyon block over the years. minutes to rush into spaces.
Lopes delayed the deadline
Only the finish failed at first, like the failures of Pereira Da Costa (32nd, 39th), this missed duel of Medina with the Lyon goalkeeper (38th), or even the chances of Openda, aborted by a Vigilant Lopes (45th, 46th, 60th).
Without forgetting the post found by Cabot (75th) or the new parade of the Lyon goalkeeper against Said (76th).
It therefore took this mishandling of the so decried Thiago Mendes to tip this match and the stadium into madness.
17th consecutive match without defeat for Lens, while Lyon lost for the 4th consecutive time in Ligue 1 for the first time since 1991.
