Lens Sinks Brest in Ligue 1
After finishing seventh last season, Lens is back in the mix with their new coach, making a strong push for a top 3 spot with this second consecutive win.
Lens dominated at home, firing off 17 shots with eight on target. They grabbed all three points thanks to a goal from Jhoanner Chávez in the 19th minute, followed by a bit of luck right before halftime when Brest defender Le Cardinal accidentally sent the ball into his own net to make it 2-0.
With this result, Lens temporarily moves up to fourth place in the Ligue 1 standings with six points, while Brest remains stuck at the bottom with zero points and a -6 goal difference.
