Review of the match Lens - PSG:

Lens vs Paris Saint-Germain: A competitive match in Ligue 1 In a highly anticipated Ligue 1 match, Lens faced Paris Saint-Germain at the legendary Stade Bollaire-Delelis. The game was an exciting spectacle, with both teams showing their skill and determination. At half-time the score was 0:1 in favour of "Paris Saint-Germain", but in the end the victory remained for the visiting team - 0:2. At the beginning of the match, Lens showed great enthusiasm and attacking spirit. However, already in the 6th minute their mood diminished when they were awarded a penalty, but, unfortunately, failed to realise it. The penalty miss was a disappointment for the Lens fans as their player P. Frankowski failed to hit the goal post. On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain took their chance and turned the tide in the 30th minute. B. Barkola showed his skill and skilfully headed the ball past the Lens goalkeeper, giving his team an important 1-0 lead. As the tension on the pitch increased, just before the break, the game reached a turning point. In the 45th minute, Lens suffered a setback: after J. Gradit received a red card, he was sent off with ten men. This turned the tide of the match in favour of Paris Saint-Germain, giving them a numerical advantage before the second half. At half-time, both teams strategised and made important changes. At the start of the second half, Lens made a substitution to strengthen the defence.

F. Maouassa made way for Joanner Chavez, who gave fresh legs and new energy to the Lens back line. However, Paris Saint-Germain continued to possess the ball and control the game. In the 52nd minute, K. Soler received a yellow card, indicating the intensity of the match. In the course of the game, both teams made a number of substitutions to bring fresh players into the game and adjust their tactics accordingly. In the 62nd minute, Paris Saint-Germain made the first substitution, replacing C. Soler with F. Ruiz. In the 74th minute, the trailing Lens made a triple substitution. A. Diouf, D. Costa and E. Vahi were replaced by A. Fulgini, A. Thomasson and V. Saeed respectively. These changes were aimed at bringing creativity and attacking prowess to Lens' game in search of an equaliser. However, Paris Saint-Germain kept their composure and solid defence, thwarting all of Lens' attempts. In the 86th minute, Lens made their last substitution: N. El Aynaoui replaced A. Sishouba. Despite Lens' efforts, Paris Saint-Germain sealed the victory in the last minutes of the match. In the 89th minute, K. Mbappe dazzled the crowd with a fantastic goal, bringing Paris Saint-Germain's lead to 2:0 and securing all three points for his team. The match showed the resilience and skill of both teams, but the victory went to Paris Saint-Germain. Lens fought bravely, but the numerical advantage and inability to realise chances cost them dearly. Nevertheless, football fans were able to see an exciting display of talent and competitive spirit throughout the game.

The following matches await the rivals in the next round: Toulouse vs Lance, PSG vs Brest.
