A thrilling match at Stade Bollaert-Delelis saw Lens and Lyon play out a 1-1 draw in a game that had everything!
Both teams came out swinging. Lyon dominated possession with 61% compared to Lens' 39%, and had more shots (15) and shots on target (6) than Lens (9). However, Lens managed to turn the tide and find the back of the net twice.
The first half was a bit cagey, with both teams showing some defensive resilience. Interestingly, Lens had a goal disallowed in the 35th minute due to a VAR review. Then, in the second half, the game really came alive. Lyon struck first with a goal from Lucas Paquetá in the 81st minute. Lens didn't give up and, in the 86th minute, Clauss struck back, equalling the score! The drama didn't end there. There were several key substitutions from both sides, and in the final minute, Slimani got a red card for Lyon adding to the intensity of the contest.
The match was a testament to both teams' tactical flexibility and determination. The crowd was electric as the excitement built throughout the game. Lens will be disappointed that they couldn't come away with the victory, while Lyon could consider themselves lucky to have picked up a point at a difficult venue.
