Lens draw Lyon in 1-1 match; both teams end goalless

The match between Lens and Lyon ended in a goalless draw, with the two teams playing out a tense affair at Stade de France on Sunday.

Lens were the first to break the deadlock in the opening minutes of the game, with Yacine Adli scoring from close range after good work from Florian Thauvin. However, Lyon responded quickly with their own goal, with Romain Saiss equalizing for them just before half-time.

Both sides struggled to create any clear-cut chances throughout the second half, and it was not until the final minute that Lens finally found the breakthrough. Adli once again came up with a crucial effort, this time finishing off a well-worked move involving Thiago Motta and Florian Thauvin.

Despite the goal, Lens struggled to maintain control of the ball and were unable to create many more opportunities. Lyon, meanwhile, were content to sit back and defend, knowing they had earned a point against a strong opponent.

Overall, it was a frustrating evening for both teams, who will be disappointed to have failed to take advantage of their early dominance. The draw means that both sides remain in third and fourth place in Ligue 1, but there is still plenty of football left to play, and both teams will be hoping to make the most of their opportunities in the coming weeks.
