Lens couldn't overcome the newly promoted Metz (0-1) to continue their winless streak in the season, just days before their debut in the Champions League.

It was the Swedish player Joel Asoro who surprised the home team with a goal in the 37th minute, marking his first goal in the current Ligue 1 season.

Now, Lens will have to find solutions just days before playing their first match in the Champions League against Sevilla this upcoming Wednesday, as they have yet to secure a win in the league after five matchdays.
