🎥 Nightmare first half for Monaco against Lens 🥶 | OneFootball

A first half to forget.

This Saturday evening, Lens traveled to Monaco’s pitch for a clash between teams contending for European spots. Unfortunately for the club from the Rock, this match quickly soured.

First of all, Monaco missed a huge opportunity to open the scoring on a counterattack led by Golovin at the very start of the match.

To add to Monaco’s regrets, it was the Northerners and Osdonne Edouard who opened the scoring, notably taking advantage of a completely botched clearance by Thilo Kehrer.

Despite everything, Monaco thought they had managed to get back into the game thanks to a penalty goal by Folarin Balogun (37th minute), but Wesley Saïd put Lens back in the lead in the 40th minute.

And as if that wasn’t enough, just eight minutes after his goal, Folarin Balogun received a red card that sparked huge debate.

Being a man down was immediately punished by RC Lens, who doubled their lead right after thanks to Mamadou Sangaré (45+3’).
