RC Lens are still in the race for the Champions League. The Sang et Or remain in second place after beating Reims in the 35th round of Ligue 1 matches on Friday. The hosts were in a bad shape as they were reduced to ten men in the 19th minute. Danso was sent off after a foul in the box. The visitors were awarded a penalty, which was converted by Balogun (23rd).
Despite the numerical inferiority, Lens multiplied their attacks in the opponent's area. The host were awarded a penalty after Agbadou fouled Thomasson on the edge of the area. Frankowski takes the penalty and puts his team back in the game. The Sang et Or even turned the game around. And it was captain Seko Fofana who crafted the lead (55th). After a festival of dribbling, the Ivorian striker fired a cross-shot past Yehvann Diouf to score Racing's 2,000th goal in Ligue 1 history.
