The solidity of Danso
Indisputable starter in the Lensoise rearguard, Kevin Danso gained momentum throughout the match, won 1-0 by Lens on the lawn of Marseille.
First put in difficulty by the activity of Sanchez, the Austrian defender quickly recovered and did not let anything pass in the area.
Very valuable in duels and the fallout of Marseille centers.
A boss match.
Samba saved Lens
Winner at the Vélodrome, Lens can thank Brice Samba.
The northern goalkeeper, spent on the Canebière from 2013 to 2017, kept his team in the game in the first period, while OM outrageously dominated.
His parry on a strike from Harit (30th) or his exit in front of Sanchez (45th) were decisive, like his lucky intervention in front of Mbemba after returning from the locker room (63rd).
With Samba, Lens has a reliable and decisive goalkeeper this season.

FLOPS
Ineffective OM
The Marseillais can harbor enormous regrets at the end of this shock.
Defeated, OM nevertheless clearly dominated the first period, but paid dearly for their lack of efficiency.
If Samba shone in his cage, the Phocaeans clearly badly negotiated certain occasions.
Like in particular Clauss, who rushed too much just before the break (45th).
Not successful, Igor Tudor's men clearly missed their chance, before losing their footing and suffering the Lensois burst during the second act.
Kolasinac was not ready
Gigot (suspended) and Bailly (package) unavailable, Igor Tudor decided to start Sead Kolasinac, just back from a muscle injury.
But the Marseille defender only stayed on the lawn of the Vélodrome for barely twenty-two minutes.
In difficulty on the Lensoise offensives, the Bosnian came close to expulsion (16th), just after receiving a first yellow card (14th).
Saved by the leniency of the referee on this one, he was nevertheless forced to leave his partners prematurely, visibly hit in the knee (22nd).
An evening to forget.
Ronnier disappointed
It has alternated the good and the disappointing since the start of the season.
This Saturday, Valentin Rongier did not meet expectations.
The former Nantes player, promoted to captain and associated with Veretout in the Marseille midfield, did not have enough influence in the Olympian game.
Discreet, and quickly warned for a sole on Fofana (23rd), he was too easily overtaken by Da Costa on the action of the Lensoise victory goal.
