At the Sunday evening match in the "Ligue 1" league, "Lens" defeated "Lyon" at home with a score of 1:0.

Throughout the match, the "Lens" players had more control. Towards the end of the first half, they had several very dangerous opportunities, but both were brilliantly dealt with by "Lyon" goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.

The goalkeeper from Portugal demonstrated his mastery in the second half, saving his team in several dangerous situations. However, ultimately their efforts were in vain, as a "Lyon" defender handled the ball in his penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty kick. This time Anthony Lopes couldn't keep his goal safe, and in the 82nd minute Florian Sotoca scored three points for his team.

After these matches, "Lens" is in fourth place in the league table, while "Lyon" is in seventh place.
