Well above, Lens logically leads against Monaco (2-0), this Saturday, in the first shock of the 32nd day of Ligue 1.
Crazy atmosphere, full stadium, very attacking game, the Lensois quickly suffocated the Mongasques. Enough to open the scoring by Openda, opportunistic after losing the ball from Vanderson (1-0, 9th). Not really satiated, the Sang-et-Or continued their march forward, passing close to the break on strikes from Sotoca and S. Fofana. It was finally Openda, on a caviar from Machado, which was responsible for punishing ASM with a new recovery from close range (2-0, 16th).
After a perfect half-hour, Lens gradually loosened the grip, long enough to see Y. Fofana attempt a first shot for the visitors. An isolated opportunity since the Lensois immediately put the pressure back on by giving Nbel additional thrills through Thomasson and S. Fofana. Before the break, the Ivorian midfielder was on the verge of giving up the game for good, but his shot hit the bar of the German goalkeeper.
