The RC Lens played this Saturday at 11 a.m. his first preparation match once morest Dunkirk, at the François-Blin stadium of CS Avion. A first outing which has already given rise to some interesting phases of play and ended in an eventful 4-4 draw once morest an opponent promoted to Ligue 2.
If we did not escape the traditional little errors of recovery in terms of technical waste, the first half, started with a defense at 4, turned out to be pleasant for a recovery match. If the Dunkirks got into the game the best, the Sang et Or stepped up to open the scoring, Florian Sotoca taking perfectly with the flat foot a cross from Wesley Saïd who had taken advantage of a very nice opening of Steve Spierings, one of the 2 rookies lined up with Andy Diouf. We of course watched the two new ones closely. If it will naturally be necessary to increase in power and refine the integration into the collective, we have already been able to sense the maturity of the Dutchman in the midfield, signaling himself by his involvement in the opening of the score. As for Andy Diouf, following the first stammering steps, we might guess its impact when it increased in speed, in particular on incisive ball lifts and several strikes. The opener was quickly followed by a Dunkirk equalizer by Ghrieb (10′), who was able to take advantage of an ill-adjusted pass from Le Cardinal to equalize. Despite this hitch, the RC Lens gradually gained momentum to get several chances, without being able to materialize, like this too cross shot from Saïd on a good combination with Thomasson (19′), this double chance with two counter shots from the Sotoca- Saïd but above all this triple opportunity which saw Le Cardinal fail on Balijon before a shot pushed back on the line from Thomasson and a shot next to Fulgini (38′).
The beautiful recovery of Le Cardinal, pushed back by Balijon. Penalties in madness in the second half, Sishuba decisive
For the second period, Franck Haise considerably rejuvenated his team, calling on many reserve players as well as Neil El Aynaoui, 3rd rookie in this match, while Adrien Thomasson remained on the field. We also found Ibrahima Baldé, back from a loan to Annecy. The latter was unfortunate by striking from above on a penalty obtained by the incisive Ayanda Sishuba. It was only a postponement for the young Lensois, Sean Tormin opening the scoring with great skill from a difficult angle following a serve from Nolan Bonte (53′ 2-1). The attacker even has a chance for a second goal but he is stopped by the goalkeeper in the area. Regularly ? Not sure. The young Lensois were in any case sharp for this start of the second period. Goalkeeper Roman Karolewicz has the opportunity to shine in turn on a really dangerous first strike from the USLD, around the 60′. The moment chosen by Franck Haise to bring out Adrien Thomasson, the only survivor of the first period, for a return to the field of Andy Diouf. The latter is also in the pass for Baldé who sees his center pushed back on the post by a defender (65′). However Dunkirk, following several changes, manages to equalize on a powerful recovery from Kondo on a corner (2-2, 68′). The match became harder and harder for the Sang et Or. The USLD took the upper hand for the first time thanks to a penalty from Etonde obtained following a foul by Tom Pouilly (71′). The young Lensois made too many mistakes and a new penalty allowed Mbemba to score a 4th goal (2-4, 75′). This match becomes a matter of penalties since Ayanda Sishuba obtains a 2nd one. This time he does justice to himself to reduce the score to 3-4 (81′). We feel the young artesians willing to at least save the draw, which they will end up doing thanks to the rookie El Aynaoui of the head on a corner of Sishuba, decidedly influential in this meeting (90 ‘). For a more logical draw with regard to the whole game. From this first disputed outing without the internationals, it will still be necessary to retain the momentum of the first period and the good start of the young people, much more than a draw.
