The game
Even playing away from home, Lens was not intimidated, went after the opponent and opened the scoring after five minutes of the first half. Fulgini received it from Fofana inside the area, and sent for coverage, as the goalkeeper was in an advanced position.
Montpellier worked on the attack but were unable to complete the moves to equalize. On the other side, the visitor almost zoomed in. At 35, Thomasson received a good pass and kicked close to the opposing goal.
In the second half, Montpellier equalized in the 14th minute. After a cross in the area, Maouassa went higher than the Lens defense and headed the goal to leave everything the same. Shortly after, Lens almost took the lead again, but Lecomte made a good save.
