Lens Live

PSG won against Lens (1-0) after a tense encounter. Everything happened very quickly. Paris opened the scoring on its first chance. Barcola made a huge difference and offered a first goal to Dembélé at the far post (4'). Ten minutes later, the Parisians had the chance to break away but Dembélé's shot hit Samba's post (15'). In this first period, Paris has spaces, dominates overall but falls back into its bad habits in front of the goal as during a face-off between Asensio and Samba (35th). Just before the break, Barcola presents himself in front of the Lens goalkeeper but does not even get his attempt on target. The second period is quite different. It is much more tense. Fouls and bad gestures take over the game and Khusanov will be sent off for a dangerous tackle on Hakimi's ankle (60th). Lens does not weaken however and manages to get close to the opposing goal. On the other hand, the Blood and Gold are exposed and Barcola is not far from taking advantage but his wonderful curl is slammed over the goal by Samba (71st). The last minutes lean in favor of the Parisians who manage the end of the match. The Blood and Gold will not have the legs to react and will have to accept the defeat. Paris can now get into Champions League mode with the reception of Atlético Madrid this Wednesday.
