Defeating a strong opponent like Lyon boosted the team’s confidence.
Before this win, Lens had a mixed record with one win, two losses, and two draws in their last five matches.
Looking at how Lens played against Olympique Lyon, it’s clear they deserved the win.

Lens dominated the game, controlling possession, creating chances, and putting pressure on Lyon.
