Lens rally from two down to deny Le Mans | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Le Mans and Lens drew 2-2 in Ligue 1. In the 32nd minute Adil Bourabaa headed in from close range to put the hosts ahead, then Lucas Calodat drilled a low finish into the far corner (44.). VAR then confirmed Abdallah Sima's header in the second minute of first half stoppage time, before Franjo Ivanović levelled with a glancing header (51.). Lens drove the momentum with their pressure, producing 16 attempts as Ewan Hatfout made key saves to preserve parity. Le Mans are still winless after four matches and host Lorient next, while Lens drop from seventh to ninth and visit Monaco next.

Player of the Match: Adil Bourabaa scored the opener and set up Lucas Calodat, adding two key passes in a tireless 90 minutes.

Stat of the Match: Lens registered 16 attempts, reflecting sustained second half pressure that forced the equaliser.

Three Things We Learned: Le Mans remain without a victory this season, drawing three of their first four league games. A VAR-confirmed goal before the interval swung the mood, and Lens capitalised early after the restart through their substitute's equaliser. Ruben Aguilar's supply was pivotal for the visitors, producing three key passes and the assist that unlocked the defence.
