The situation in the Ligue 1 standings has intensified after league leader PSG's defeat to Monaco on Friday. Seizing the opportunity, "Lens" hosted "Metz" at home and capitalized on the chance to get closer to the leader.
Idman.Biz reports that "Lens" players successfully completed the task by defeating their opponent 3-0 in front of their fans. Thanks to this victory, the home side reached 56 points, reducing the point difference with leader PSG to one.
The team's goals were scored by Suoud Abdul Hamid in the 44th minute, Florian Thauvin in the 46th minute, and Amadou Haidara in the 52nd minute.
