That's ten.
Ten consecutive victories at home for Lens which won 1-0 against Auxerre.
And contrary to what the ranking of the two teams could have predicted, the match was not easy for the Sang & Or. As explained by Alexis Claude Maurice at the microphone of Prime Video, "
it was a day without
" for the RC Lens.
To win against the 19th in Ligue 1, they had to rely on a penalty converted by the Polish Frankowski (59 ').
Auxerre, reduced to 10 after the expulsion of Isaak Touré (65'), could not find the answers to respond to the premises.

RC Lens and its Bollaert audience continue their great adventure.
Even if they weren't particularly scared, we thought for a while that he wouldn't find the fault against an Auxerre block well in place.
Only small failure in the defense of AJA, the left side, put in difficulty by an excellent Frankowski-Sotoca duo.
They are the ones who created all the chances for RC Lens in this game.
It was from a cross from the Pole extended by Sotoca that Lois Openda should have opened the scoring (33 ').
The Belgian found himself alone at the far post but molested his head which crashed against the post when the goal was empty.
More than three points difference with PSG
Without creating a lot of danger, RC Lens took advantage of an error by the Auxerre defense and a foul by Touré in the area to inherit a penalty.
Frankowski, surely the man of the match, transformed him despite Costil's good dive (59').
RC Lens will then be content to manage the score and will not be worried by their opponent.
Auxerre, solid defensively, showed a much better face than usual, despite the little danger caused, and can use this match as a basis for the rest of the season.
The show at Stade Bollaert was less present than usual (only 3 shots on target in 90 minutes) but RC Lens was able to do the job to pick up 3 points in the standings and put pressure on PSG, who will go challenge Rennes in a Ligue 1 shock this Sunday (8:45 p.m.).
