In pain ! At the end of a closed match and long promised a goalless draw, the Rémois found the solution in the final moments of the game to win (1-0) against Lorient and provisionally take 4th place in the Ligue 1, one point behind PSG which plays this Sunday (1 p.m.) in Brest. The hero of the evening? Josh Wilson-Esbrand. Served on the left of the area, the young 20-year-old full-back on loan from Manchester City made the difference in the 84th minute by magnificently curling the ball into the opposite net with his right.
Before this happy epilogue, the Champenois dominated without realizing anything and had all the trouble in the world creating chances, despite Junya Ito being very active as usual. The Japanese was also involved in one of the main situations of the first period, when his volley from the left following a good delivery from Marshall Munetsi in the area finished its course above Yvon Mvogo’s goal ( 15th). The rest of the time, the Swiss goalkeeper intervened without difficulty on the attempts of Teuma (13th), Richardson (19th) and Daramy (29th).
Interesting in the game during this first act, Will Still’s men were in more difficulty during a choppy and tense second period. The Belgian technician, undoubtedly frustrated by the tightness of the Lorient block, was also excluded ten minutes from the end of the match, showing himself too vehement to contest an arbitration decision. Until the deliverance, thanks to the individual exploit of Wilson-Esbrand, who capsized the Stade Auguste-Delaune.
Fourth while waiting for the matches of Lille against Monaco and Brest against Paris this Sunday, the Rémois will return to Nantes on Sunday November 5 at 3 p.m.
Lens wins and breathes
And in the other meeting of the day, Lens largely won against Nantes (4-0). Yet less dominant in the duels in the first period, Franck Haise’s men did well thanks to two penalties scored by Florian Sotoca (27th, 72nd) and were able to count on the clumsiness of the Canaries in the last gesture (29th, 36th) to keep their lead.
Facundo Medina aggravated the score with a powerful shot from the right outside the area (58th). Neil El Aynaoui participated in the celebration by scoring his first goal in Lens colors at the end of the match (89th). Thanks to this victory, the Sang et Or, 14th before the meeting, moved up in the standings by temporarily returning to ninth place, just three points behind Lille, fifth.
