For its return to the Champions League, RC Lens experienced a nightmarish start to the match on Wednesday evening. In an overheated atmosphere in Seville, the French vice-champions were surprised from the start by a header from the former Marseillais and Monegasque, Lucas Ocampos.
In the 9th minute, the latter sent a lobbed header whose trajectory was very poorly judged by Brice Samba, although experienced. The goalkeeper, called up to the French team, was surprised in a surprising way.
But Franck Haise’s men did not dive in the wake of the opening score. Following a free kick caused by Wahi, it was Fulgini who allowed the Northerners to return to the game thanks to a gem of a set piece (24th).
