Sports writing, May 6. Lens extended their streak, ended that of Marseille and added an important victory at the Bollaert Delelis stadium (2-1) to move to second place in Ligue 1 in France, from which they displace their rival, third on the thirty-fourth day of the competition.
In addition, Franck Haise’s team, which won its third game in a row, is only three points behind the leader, Paris Saint Germain, who visits Troyes on Sunday.
After an initial goal disallowed by the Marseille team after eight minutes signed by the Chilean Alexis Sánchez due to a previous foul, it was Lens who took the lead on the brink of half-time with a goal from Seko Fofana, from outside the area after receiving a ball from Kevin Danso.
Lens sealed the game on the hour signed by Lois Openda with a header thanks to a measured assist from the Polish Przemyslaw Frankowski. And two from the end, Igor Tudor’s box closed the gap through Dimitri Payet to a pass from Valentin Rongier.
Lens is second, two points ahead of Marseille, third, who had three straight wins and nine games without losing. Haise’s team is three behind the leadership of Paris Saint Germain. EFE
