Lens v PSG: Incredible blunder gifts victory to Paris Saint-Germain women

On Saturday, the women's teams of Paris Saint-Germain and Lens faced off at Stade Bollaert during the 1st day of the Arkema Premier League 2025-2026. The match ended in a 1-1 draw (PSG/Paris FC video summary), which was very disappointing for PSG but heroic for the club promoted for the first time in its history. However, the latter will eventually "offer" the victory due to a huge error, as reported by La Voix du Nord.

🔴 Le #RCLensFéminin va avoir match perdu sur tapis vert malgré son bon match nul face au #PSG samedi (1-1) après avoir « oublié » la suspension de Louann Archier. Pire, le Racing pourrait également se voir infliger un point de pénalité pour cette bourde administrative. #RCLens

Indeed, Louann Archier, who signed with Lens during the summer from Saint-Etienne, was suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards last season. An incredible situation in the elite and understandably poorly received by Benjamin Parrot, general manager of RCL, who expressed himself in the newspaper:

"not just a stumble, but a real administrative error..."

"This issue has extremely unpleasant and unfortunate external consequences. It will be handled internally. It is unacceptable for a club like RC Lens to find itself in such a situation after a heroic match, for its first in the Premier League. Playing against a team like PSG, which is one of the best in Europe, managing to hold them, bringing more than 10,000 people behind us, with players connected to the deep values of Racing Club de Lens, overturning everything with their commitment, virtues of surpassing oneself, reminding that at Bollaert anything can happen, and there is this invalidation of the result that will arise, not just from a stumble, but from a real administrative error..."

It's a real blunder for Lens and enough to infuriate, but the Lensois can only blame themselves. The rules are there, and it's a small rescue for a PSG that lacked efficiency. This should help work in serenity to move forward. Be careful, there will likely be no more gifts of this kind. We hope for Lens that these points will not be regretted at the end of the season. They must quickly recover from the disappointment.
