Lens narrowly wins at Le Havre and moves closer to the top 6 in Ligue 1

With great solidarity and numbers in front of Arthur Desmas’ goals, Le Havre held their advantage for twenty minutes. Yoann Salmier even got a golden opportunity to score a second goal, alone in front of Koffi. But the right side’s recovery flew well above the Lensois goal (23rd). RC Lens then slowly regained their calm, shedding their defensive feverishness, putting the ball on the ground and passing it around (72% possession in the first period). And logically came back to score on a cross, a first this season. The impeccably placed ball from Sotoca, unmarked on the right wing, fell on the head of the new recruit, Goduine Koyalipou, intelligently unmarked within six meters (1-1, 28th).
