Lens wins the North derby
The Lensois took the lead thanks to Frankowski who scored from the outside of the foot on a corner from the 4th minute. Then the Sang et Or took the break thanks to a goal from Kalimuendo who finally beat Jardim after several failures (37th). At the end of the first period, Xeka reduced the gap by a head (46th). There were many duels and clashes in this first act and an altercation between Gradit and Sanchez at the break set things on fire.
