The Greens lead 1-0 at halftime. ASSE receives Lens this afternoon as part of the 21st day of Ligue 1. It is the 100th time that the two clubs, cousins by their history, have met. And the Greens opened the scoring at 38° by Boudebouz.
It’s a counter-attack as we would like to see more often. An interception at 25 meters and an immediate boost to the left winger who stormed off. An immediate center at the far post and an instant recovery. The ball passes between the legs of the Lensois goalkeeper. Ryad Boudebouz has just opened the scoring for ASSE. We’ve been playing for 38 minutes.
An opportunistic goal, which reflects the tactical choices made by the coaches. ASSE locked in the center of the field, Lens took the game on its own but came up against a renewed defense. Bernardoni, the new Stéphanois goalkeeper, had to intervene several times: once with his fingertips (25′), once on his left corner (31′) once with his head outside his area (33′). Hardly arrived, the guard must go down to the mine!
Seemingly, with 54% possession in the first half, Lens were slowly gaining the tactical advantage in the game. This is to say if the goal of Boudebouz arrived at the right time.
The referee did not award a stoppage at the end of the first period. The Greens have 45 minutes left to confirm.
