After the end of the 2020-2021 fiscal year, Lensois.com retraces as every year the film of the season of RC Lens through various key moments. Let’s continue with the first day of Ligue 1, in Nice.
After a 1-0 victory at Bollaert against Dijon for the last friendly match which was able to increase the capital confidence, RC Lens comes to Nice on Sunday 23 August for the first day of Ligue 1. Racing saw its long-awaited return to the within the elite behind closed doors at the Allianz Arena and brought back a 2-1 defeat. However, we then rather want to retain the content, promising. Indeed, although promoted, RC Lens has shown ambition in the game against a Nice team that is presented as a candidate for Europe. From the first talk, Franck Haise had announced to his players that he intended to hang the maintenance by the game. This materialized immediately on the field. Nice was thus jostled at home and it was even Lens who opened the scoring on a penalty from Gaël Kakuta after a hand from Dante on a cross from Ignatius Ganago (11 ‘). The latter could have doubled the bet a few minutes later on a good situation and a cross from Florian Sotoca taken over. Lens missed his chance as Amine Gouiri equalized just behind with a nice shot (23 ‘). The Niçois signed a brace (74 ‘) after a hand raise from Jean-Louis Leca and a missed control from Facundo Medina, while Lens had the best situations. Something to feed regrets in terms of the result, but many hopes for that of the game.
