Lens 3-0 Lille: Unbeaten Run Ends | Match Report

On the fifth matchday of the French Ligue 1, the RC Lens prevails against the previously unbeaten Lille OSC with a convincing 3-0 home win.

Although the guests from Lille have more possession (61 %) over the entire playing time, the home team in the Stade Bollaert delelis acts mercilessly.

After a balanced initial phase, Wesley Said puts the home side in the lead after preparatory work by Adrien Thomasson (28th). Bruno Genesios troops are looking for the way back into the game through standard situations, but remains harmless to several corner balls.

Lens punishes this lack of opportunities for an ice cold shortly before the half -time break: Florian Thauvin increases to 2-0 (43.) after an assist from goal scorer Said. The defensive of Lens, in which the Austrian legionnaire Samson Baidoo also plays a solid game right from the start, is certain until the break whistle.

Fofana with the preliminary decision

After the change of sides, the events continue in a similar way. Lens continues to act purposefully and ensures the preliminary decision early on: Rayan Fofana meets 3-0 in the 52nd minute, a goal that also withstands the review by the video assistant.

The guests from Lille strive for an answer, but do not find through the well -organized defense of the home side. Despite a total of ten corner balls and four shots on the goal, the team of honor is denied.

Lens brings the comfortable lead over time until the final whistle.
