Lens confirmed its status as a surprise leader by winning 2-1 against Nantes, after a match where Lopes delayed the inevitable against the northern attacks for a long time. Thauvin initially opened the scoring before Nantes equalized with a penalty converted by El-Arabi, completely reigniting the match.
In the second half, the Sang et Or struggled to break through the Nantes defense, but a quick counter-attack eventually allowed Saïd to restore his team’s lead late in the game. Nantes, despite its intentions, leaves frustrated once again and threatened in the standings, potentially being overtaken by Metz.
Thanks to this victory, Lens remains firmly at the top of the league, maintaining its one-point lead after the 15th matchday. This momentum confirms the impressive consistency of Franck Haise’s men, determined to stay in control in this race for the summit.
