While they were behind until five minutes from the end, the Lensois managed to gain the upper hand over FC Nantes this Saturday (3-2).
RC Lens and all its supporters are smiling again. After two consecutive defeats, the Artésiens got back on track this Saturday by falling to FC Nantes at home. A victory won with pain.
Lens goes through all the emotions
It was only at the very end of the match that the Artésiens managed to tame their opponents of the day. Until five minutes from the end, they were not leading, with only one shot on target. That of the opening score on a penalty from the Pole Frankowski (26e).
FC Nantes, which also remained in seven games without the slightest success, then fought back. First through Moses Simon (36e), on another penalty, then with Nicolas Cozza (71e), author of the 2-1 goal on a serve from… Simon. Bollaert was silent then and we thought the Kombouaré gang had gone to achieve a mini-exploit.
Pallois, unfortunate hero
But, with the energy of despair, the RCL managed to reverse everything towards the end. At 86ethe Nigerian Hamzat Ojediran equalized with a recovery from the penalty point. Then, at the 90eNicolas Pallois gave the Sang et Or victory by lobbing his own goalkeeper with a header. It was cruel for the Nantes full-back, who had just saved an equalizing ball by brilliantly interposing on an opposing counterattack.
By winning, Lens gains four places in the ranking to find itself in fifth place. Northerners can once again hope to be able to get involved in a battle for Europe. Nantes, for its part, is 15e and has no other concerns than remaining among the elite. As often in recent years.
