Strasbourg Fight Back to Beat Lens in Ligue 1

The 20-year-old Moroccan forward scored both goals as Strasbourg recovered from a 1-0 deficit to end a four-goal loss the previous week.

  • On Saturday, Strasbourg beat Lens 2-1 in Ligue 1, giving new coach Hugo Oliveira his first win in charge. The victory marked a crucial recovery for the hosts.
  • Lens coach Dino Toppmoeller saw his side take an early lead after Florian Thauvin converted a penalty 10 minutes before half-time, marking his 100th Ligue 1 goal. The strike put Lens on track for a third straight win.
  • Strasbourg leveled less than three minutes into the second half when Gessime Yassine netted a deflected shot from Sebastian Nanasi's pass. Jacobo Ortega's potential go-ahead goal was disallowed after a lengthy VAR review.
  • Yassine secured the win with five minutes remaining, volleying home Nanasi's cross to complete his brace. The result allows Strasbourg to bounce back from their opening 4-0 loss at Marseille last weekend.
  • Lens nearly equalized when Matthieu Udol's header struck the post immediately after Yassine's goal. Lille leads the early Ligue 1 table after drawing 2-2 with Paris Saint-Germain on Friday.
