Strasbourg – Lens

Strasbourg edged a tight Ligue 1 encounter at home, beating Lens 2‑1 to move up to sixth place with seven points from four games, their record improving to two wins, one draw and one loss and a slender +1 goal difference. The victory also widened the gap to Lens, who linger in tenth with four points, having taken just one win, one draw and two defeats and sitting on a –1 goal difference. The win marks Strasbourg’s first triumph in the season’s head‑to‑head against Lens, who have yet to register a win in the two meetings so far. Both sides will now look to build on the result as the campaign heads into its next round of fixtures.
