small but precious success of OM, the card of Lens

Paris SG is not alone in the lead on the evening of the 5th day of Ligue 1. Indeed, Marseille, winner of Clermont thanks to a single goal from Gueye in the 49th minute (1-0), and Lens, who Cardboard Lorient with style (5-2) with a double from Sotoca in particular, also points to 13 points at the top of the championship. At the same time, Lille fell back into their ways by losing at home to Nice (1-2) while Rennes dominated Brest (3-1).

OM – Clermont: 1-0

Without impressing, OM continue to win. Third win in a row for Igor Tudor’s men who are standing up to Lens and PSG at the start of the season. Against Clermont, the Marseillais were very attractive in the game at the start of the match, without succeeding in concretizing their domination. A little sleepy then, the Phocaeans managed to find the net in the 49th minute thanks to Pape Gueye who came to place his head on a corner kick from Payet. Not much to put in their mouths then, except for the penalty missed by Sanchez in the 87th. Too bad for the Chilean who could have made a remarkable debut at the Vélodrome.

Lille-Nice: 1-2

The beautiful shot of Nice which brings back the three points of the North. Aiglons win 1-2. Bamba had opened the scoring in the 20th minute and launched Lille perfectly. But Nice had a response by equalizing two short minutes after the Lille goal on a penalty from Delort (22nd min). Shortly before the half-hour mark, Nicolas Pepe overtook the entire Losc defense and obtained a second penalty in a row which he himself converted (29th min). Lille dominated the whole game but weren’t dangerous enough. Facing opportunistic Aiglons, Paulo Fonseca’s men lost three points at home.

Lens-Lorient: 5-2

Offensive card for Lens which overcomes Lorient 5 goals to 2! Lens started their match perfectly by quickly scoring two goals (with Sotoca in the 24th minute then Said on an individual feat in the 28th minute). But even if Lens were above tonight, Lens got scared. In the space of twenty minutes, Franck Haise’s men conceded two goals (doubled from Moffi in the 41st and 50th on returning from the locker room). Again tied, the two teams delivered and it turned to the advantage of the locals. In the 57th minute, Abdul Samed gave Racing the lead before Sotoca scored twice (77th). After a disallowed first goal, the Openda nugget scored for real in the 86th minute and definitively sealed the fate of this meeting. Lens impresses and stands up to OM and PSG in the standings (13 points each).

Rennes – Brest: 3-1

Rennes overcomes Brest in a once again difficult match. Rodon opened the scoring in the 53rd minute, his first goal since arriving in Ligue 1. At that time, we say that Rennes did the hardest part but it was without counting on the inevitable Franck Honorat who equalized in the 57th with a very nice goal. In difficulty, Bruno Génésio’s men finally managed to get out of it in the last moments of the match thanks to a goal from the head of Terrier (89th), and a face-to-face won by Doue (90th + 1 ).
