Overview
- The match, which took place Saturday, ended 2-1 after Strasbourg overturned a first-half deficit to beat Lens at the Stade de la Meinau.
- Florian Thauvin put Lens ahead from the penalty spot for his 100th Ligue 1 goal after Jeyland Mitchell fouled Abdallah Sima inside the box.
- Twenty-year-old Gessime Yassine scored his first two goals for Strasbourg, equalising early in the second half and volleying the winner from Sebastian Nanasi's cross in the 85th minute.
- Strasbourg had a 56th-minute Jacobo Ortega header ruled out after a lengthy VAR offside review and Lens nearly drew level immediately after the winner when Matthieu Udol's header hit the post.
- The result hands Oliveira his first victory, halts Lens's hot start and highlights how VAR decisions and late goals can quickly shift early-season momentum in Ligue 1.
