Lens 1-0 Montpellier: Visitors leave with nothing as Said nets Lens winner
On Saturday, Montpellier suffered an away defeat to RC Lens at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Both Lens and Montpellier came from defeats in their previous league games. Lens were looking to get back to winning ways after losing their last match 1-0 to Lille, while Montpellier had lost their previous match against AS Mónaco. Lens are now in 3rd place on the table and have 24 points while Montpellier sit in 10th with 12 points after 11 matches.
Following a goalless first half, Lens piled on the pressure in the second and were rewarded, when Wesley Said gave them the lead, 67 minutes in, leaving the final score at 1-0.
Substitutions for Lens included David Pereira Da Costa, Wesley Said, Jimmy Cabot, Jean Onana and Lukasz Poreba for Alexis Claude-Maurice, Lois Openda, Przemyslaw Frankowski, Seko Fofana and Salis Abdul Samed, respectively. Montpellier replaced Faitout Maouassa, Wahbi Khazri, Valere Germain, Sacha Delaye and Axel Gueguin with Arnaud Nordin, Stephy Mavididi, Teji Savanier, Sepe Elye Wahi and Joris Chotard.
There were bookings for Facundo Medina and Deiver Machado from Lens, and Sepe Elye Wahi and Maxime Esteve, for Montpellier.
Lens will next play Olympique de Marseille away, with Montpellier facing Lyon at home.
