TOPS/FLOPS – Seko Fofana delivered the RCL to win 2-1, against Stade de Reims and the defensive fragility of Agbadou.
TOPS
Seko Fofana, the chicotter
The Ivorian midfielder was entitled to the microphone to sing the now famous Lensois post-match song, during the victories. Logical when we look at his performance once again above average. Already irresistible against Marseille last week, Fofana reigned in the midfield. Scorer in the 55th minute, it was he who offered victory to his team after a personal achievement. Fake body to eliminate Cadjus, fatal speed to his compatriot Agbadou and Fofana finished the job with a strike on the ground which caught Yehvann Diouf on the wrong foot.
10 v 11 victory
The Lensoise performance is all the more beautiful this Friday evening, as it took place in numerical inferiority for 70 minutes. Led to the score following the penalty converted by Balogun (22nd) and one less after the exclusion of Danso (20th), we did not give much of the skin of the dolphin of PSG at this moment of the game. And yet the heart, self-sacrifice and the collective took over to bury Reims who had nevertheless done everything well for 30 minutes. The Rémois will have the frustration of not having put the second when the opportunities presented themselves and Lens on the contrary will be able to be satisfied with a victory which will count double in the spirits.
FLOPS
Emmanuel Agbadou exceeded
At fault on Thomasson bringing the Lensois penalty, Emmanuel Agbadou restarted everything in the game and allowed Frankowski to reduce the score six minutes from the break. But his performance didn’t stop there. Ten minutes after returning from the locker room, it was he who was taken by Seko Fofana’s dribbling and by his power, fading too easily for the second goal from Lens. Negatively involved in both goals, he was one of the unfortunate architects of the evening’s defeat in Reims.
Kevin Danso got hot
In the northern euphoria, the Austrian central defender was still the one who put his partners in difficulty and who could have cost his club dearly in the context of direct qualification for the Champions League. Fortunately for him, his partners won, otherwise his gesture could have enabled OM to regain control of second place in the championship. It is not the case in the end but Danso who went very close to correctional against Alexis Sanchez last week, could not avoid exclusion causing a penalty for Reims. Penalty converted by Balogun (22nd) after an indisputable foul in the area on Marshall Munetsi, as the last defender.
