Updated:2025-12-02 08:33 Views:64Lens and Angers had to settle for a draw after a tense encounter at Stade de France on Sunday. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams having their chances but unable to find the back of the net.
In the first half, Lens started brightly and created several chances, but were unable to convert them into goals. On the other hand, Angers also had some good spells of possession and created some decent opportunities, but were unable to take advantage of them.
The deadlock was finally broken in the second half when Lens' Openda scored from close range following a corner. Angers tried to respond by creating some pressure in the final third, but Lens held firm and managed to hold on to the lead until full-time.
The victory was Lens' fourth straight win in all competitions, and they remain in second place in Ligue 1. They have now won five out of their last six matches, which is impressive given the difficult fixtures they've faced recently.
Meanwhile, Angers will be disappointed with the result, but they'll need to focus on improving their defensive performance if they want to compete for European football next season. With two games left, they still have a chance to climb up the table, but it won't be easy.
It's been another solid week for Lens, who have continued to impress under new manager Patrick Vieira. Their performances in recent weeks suggest that they're capable of pushing for the title, and they'll be looking to build on this result as they continue their push towards the top of the league.
