But it was hard ! The Lensois thought they had taken a big step towards the Champions League by beating their direct opponents Marseille last week (2-1). But the Sang et Or will have to whip to the end to keep their precious second place, synonymous with direct accession to the continental elite. And possibly look higher if the PSG continues to tangle the brushes…
Facing Reims, in the advanced match of the 35th day, Franck Haise’s players reversed a situation that got off to a bad start on their Bollaert lawn. Reduced to ten and led to the score on the same action (a penalty conceded by Danso, expelled in the 19th and transformed by the serial scorer from Reims Balogun), the Artésiens returned to the mark shortly before the break on a penalty from Frankowski, then we made the difference thanks to their captain Seko Fofana, author of a beautiful cross shot at the entrance to the Champagne area.
This is the 16th success at home for the Lensois this season, as much as the historic record which dates from 1961-1962. With this victory, Lens returns to three points behind PSG, which receives Ajaccio on Saturday, and regains a five-point lead over Marseille, which will host Angers on Sunday evening. Nothing is played…
