After replacing Dieng (64.), Oluwatosin Aiyegun needed barely a minute to restore the advantage, turning in Arsène Kouassi's delivery (65.).

Yvon Mvogo made five saves as the visitors pushed, and late on Lens forced a flurry of corners, with crosses defended under pressure in stoppage time.

Lens had 66% possession and registered 20 attempts, six on target. Lorient produced six attempts, three on target.
