Lens scores and impresses, Monaco disappoints at home
[ad_1]
The Lensois dictated their law against Lorient while Monaco was surprised at home against Troyes.
This 5th day of Ligue 1 will have offered a magnificent spectacle to all football lovers. With 37 goals scored and at least one goal per game, we weren’t bored this Wednesday evening. And in the end it was Lens who impressed the most after their 5-2 victory against Lorient while AS Monaco disappointed by being surprised at Louis II (2-4 defeat against Troyes).
TOPS
RC Lens has the makings of a co-leader
Thanks to his new victory (the fourth in five matches this season), Franck Haise’s men are co-leaders of Ligue 1 after this 5th day. Seductive with his game forward, Lens rivals PSG or OM at the start of the season. These three clubs have thirteen points each. This Wednesday evening, the Lensois overcame a team from Lorient who came with ambitions. Racing relied on its executives like Sotoca, author of a double, and on its bench with the remarkable entry of the Belgian Openda (one goal and another refused). Lens is very good and Lens takes points!
Lyon and Marseille do the job
No big cards for the two Olympics but still three additional points. At the start of the evening, OL won (2-1) at home against AJ Auxerre, executioner of last year’s sworn enemy: AS Saint-Étienne. Clear domination of Peter Bosz’s men at the start of the game, as usual. But despite the opening of Tete (29th) and the break of Toko (72nd), the Lyonnais were still scared at the end of the match by conceding a goal on a counter-attack (Autret in the 80th). OL did well in the end, pocketing three additional points. By winning their late match on the lawn of Lorient, Lyon would also be joint leaders.
Olympique de Marseille also struggled against a grouped block. Against Clermont, Igor Tudor’s men were attractive at the start of the game but then fell asleep. We had to wait for the return of the locker room to see Pape Gueye open the scoring with a fine header from a corner from Payet (49th). The rest of the meeting was much calmer. Only a missed penalty from Sanchez animated the last minutes of play (87th).

FLOPS
AS Monaco does not confirm
After their very good draw at the Parc des Princes this Sunday against PSG (1-1), the Monegasques fell from their rock this Wednesday evening at the start of the evening. Facing Troyes, Philippe Clément’s men were surprised by a team that came boldly to play their luck at Louis II. Despite the opening of Maripan at the start of the match (10th), defensive faults will have caught up with Monaco with this penalty from Tardieu (22nd) and this red card from this same Maripan (second yellow in the 44th minute). In addition to morale, this defeat hurts in accounting terms since ASM is now in 16th place with only 5 points on the clock.
Angers increasingly worried
Penultimate in this championship, the Angevins missed the boat this Wednesday against Reims. At home, Gérald Baticle’s men were quickly led by two goals (Munetsi, 23rd and Ito, 45th). Overwhelmed, Angers nevertheless reacted with the entry of Moroccan international Sofiane Boufal. The latter was the author of a goal and an assist, bringing his team to two goals everywhere. And in these moments, Angers must be able to at least hold the draw, or even go for the first victory of their season. But just three minutes after Hunou’s equalizer, the Angevins cracked… Balogun restored the advantage to Reims on a penalty in the 70th, before Flips crucified the locals (90th). Angers does not bode well after five matches…
