It’s getting heated on the Lens goal, the locals are having trouble getting clear, Tolisso’s shot is blocked for a corner.

Big mix-up in the Lyon area which turns a pass from Diouf into a dangerous shot which grazes the post of Perri who seemed to be in the trajectory.

Lens tries to combine in the last few meters but Lyon are vigilant, still no clear chances for the locals.

Good cross from Frankowski on the right side but Caqueret is vigilant in cutting off the trajectory, Lyon clears.

Medina’s shot was too soft and almost turned into an assist for Said. The scorer continued but his shot was pushed out for a corner by the defence.

Another big duel on the left side for Machado and Maitland Niles, for the moment the advantage goes to Lyon.

After a festival from Abner on the left, Lacazette is well served in the axis. The tricolor eludes two defenders to hit hard under the bar but Samba pushes back.

First shot on target of the match and it is signed by Abner Vinicius off-center on the left, Samba pushes the ball away well.

Great pass from Lacazette to Caqueret who goes into a duel with Medina, the tricolor manages to obtain a corner, still on the left side.

Great acceleration from Machado on his left side but Maitland Niles is quicker to counter him, Perri scares himself by dropping the ball, fortunately Niakhaté was vigilant.

After just over 20 minutes of play, apart from Gift Orban’s offside goal, we are still waiting for the first clear chance.

We let the action play out which almost resulted in a goal but Saïd was well offside.

Lens goes forward, another good ball for Frankowski but the Pole misjudges his ball, too long for Sotoca… Goal kick.

Lens have the ball and play across the width of the pitch, well offset on their right side, Frankowski is stopped by a nice tackle from Abner Vinicius preferred to Tagliafico on the left side.

First incursion of the Lensois into the Lyon camp, Machado is jostled in the surface but the referee raises his flag offside.

Lens kicks off this match on their home turf.

End of the 4th day of L1 with this match, Lyon, which remains on a great success against Strasbourg, is 14th with three points while Lens is 5th with seven points.

Kick-off imminent, the 22 players have just entered the pitch.

The American president of OL believes that it would be “a failure” of not being champion of France and not qualifying for the Champions League. “We can have a good season without necessarily achieving all our objectives”he nevertheless specified, he who aims to look PSG straight in the eye from this season.

After a lightning start to the season with two goals in two games, Wesley Saïd has been struggling more in recent games. Like his teammates, the elimination in the Conference League against Panathinaikos seems to have left its mark, but the one who must make Wahi (who left for OM) forget must find the back of the net tonight to allow RC Lens to remain unbeaten in L1 this season.

The composition aligned by Will Still, a first start for Frankowski and Machado, Danso injured is replaced by Khusanov in a three-man defense. At the point Sotoca and Said are associated.

Orban and Lacazette are partnered at the tip of the attack. The rookie is on a two-goal run against Strasbourg on the last day. The Nigerian hopes to be decisive against Lens tonight. Mikautadze and rookie Veretout are on the bench.

Good evening and welcome to the last match of this 4th day of Ligue 1 between Lens and Lyon at Bollaert.
