Full Time: Lens 3 vs 2 Lyon
Having taken the lead in the 15th minute through goal from Wesley Said, Lyon had to achieve less than good results against Lens and suffered their 8th defeat this season of 13 matches. Most tragic with Lyon's performance this season, from 13 matches they have 8 defeats, 4 draw and win 1 match only. I doubt with Lyon opportunity keep existing in Ligue 1 next season current most bottom place will make their position in Ligue 1 have questionable. Actually, Lyon managed to equalize with score of 2-2 until the 72nd minute, but a goal from substitute player Przemyslaw Frankowski in the 74th minute made Lyon failed to get one point and had to suffer second defeat in a row after previously losing against Lille in the match last week.
These two teams showed two different sides, even though previously Lens had also slumped at the start of the season. but gradually, Pranck Heise was able to bring his team up slowly. even though their Champions League performance is very messy, it is natural that this team is not strengthened by players who have above average quality in the squad.
Meanwhile for Lyon, they are having difficulty getting back up even though they have changed coaching. what was even more surprising, I just checked that now Lyon has changed its head coach again. I haven't checked whether Fabio Grosso was fired, or resigned. or, he is absent. What is certain is that Lyon is now under the leadership of Pierre Sage. referring to transfermarkt, he is an interim coach.
In this match, even though Lyon took the lead in the 15th minute. in fact, they were unable to maintain it until the game was over. even though the score was tied at 2-2, in the end Lens was able to get the win. In fact, Lyon is in crisis. I don't know what happened, but it seems like they are also experiencing a crisis within the club's management itself.
Now Lyon has suffered another defeat, previously falling to Lille. It was recorded that they were only able to get 7 points in their 13 matches. It's quite difficult to be in a safe zone if there are no major changes. Like it or not, club management has to do something to save this team from falling further. Well, we'll see how things develop next.
Do not think anyone was surprised to see the result of this match. Lens performed well. At the 72nd minute, I thought the match might end in a draw because Lyon did well to actually level the score. But in the end, Lens was able to score another and make sure that they got three points from this match. Even though I would say that the score was not very surprising for anyone, however, I will also say that the match was hard for Lens to win in the end. And now I don't think Lyon is actually going to improve to a point where they will be able to get out of the relegation zone.
