Zapping Foot National Coupe de France: Calais, Quevilly, El-Biar, … the greatest exploits of the competition
Will Still did not do his former training any favors. Arriving this summer in Lens from Reims, where he spent two seasons, the Belgian technician experienced a rather special evening this Friday evening, during this Ligue 1 meeting between Reims and Lens, counting for the first meeting of the 13th championship day. And it started well for the Belgian coach's players. Dominant in this first act, they ended up finding the net in the 23rd minute of play thanks to Adrien Thomasson, who scored his second goal of the season, having been at the club for three seasons already. As a reminder, the French midfielder is under contract with Lens until June 2026.
Lens is more realistic in front of goal
And in this meeting, the Lensois did not need to be asked and were effective in front of the Reims goal. With six shots on target, Will Still's players managed to hit the mark once again in the 61st minute of play thanks to M'Bala Nzola, a striker who arrived this summer from Fiorentina. And despite several changes to the premises, nothing has changed. The three shots on target from Reims resulted in nothing. And it was finally Lens who won this Friday evening (0-2) on the pitch in Reims. As a reminder, the Lensois, with this success, distance Reims by two points and take provisional 6th place in Ligue 1. The visitors regain confidence after their defeat (1-3) last weekend against Marseille.
To summarize
Will Still didn't do his ex any favors. Arriving this summer in Lens from Reims, where he spent two seasons, the Belgian technician experienced a rather special evening this Friday evening, during this Ligue 1 meeting between Reims and Lens, counting for the 13th day of the championship. And it started well for the Belgian coach's players.
