“There are a lot of things going on that aren’t very clear.”

They may regret the scenario of the match. This Saturday, Lens lost (1-3) at home against OM during the 12th day of Ligue 1. A match where the Lensois went through all kinds of emotions. After a very good start to the match and a few dangerous chances, neither team managed to score in the first half, but by then the home side were dominating the game. In the second half, everything changed and OM scored two goals in quick succession. Even if Lens reduced the score and believed to equalize at the very end of the match, their goal was canceled for a foul, before a third Marseille goal sealed the outcome of the match. After the defeat, the anger was palpable on the Lensois side.

A bitter defeat for the Lensois

After the match, Lensois coach Will Still, suspended for this match and replaced by his assistant (his brother), expressed his anger towards his players, asking them for “collective and individual awareness”. He also denounced the attitude of the Marseillais at the break: “We must not look for noon at two p.m. I am told that at half-time, there is a cinema not possible in the tunnel to put pressure on the referee. Strangely, in the second half, there are a lot of things happening that are not very clear. It happens too often. As a football fan, the referee has an important role to play. Today it's difficult not to talk about arbitration from the moment Lens equalizes and makes it 2-2,” he confided.
