The resumption of the French league had a huge surprise in store for Ligue 1 fans, as Lens managed to pull off a stunning victory over Lyon with a final score of 2-1, even while playing a man down from the 84th minute onward and facing the threat of a potential comeback by the “Lions”!
And yet, goals by Sotoka (36’) and Udol (77’) proved enough for the… upset, with the scorer of the second goal being the very player who received a straight red card in the 84th minute.
