Five days after the slap in Brest (4-0), the Sang et Or failed to bounce back after notably missing their first period.

Angers, who had logically opened the scoring by the former Lille Sofiane Boufal (40th), suffered the Lightning Lensoise on the return from the locker room with goals from Gaël Kakuta (48th) and Florian Sotoca (55th), but found the resources to snatch an equalizer deserved by Romain Thomas (70th).

Franck Haise's players, who have taken only four points in the last four meetings, however retain their fourth place with 25 units on the clock, while the SCO, who offered a very pleasant game, confirmed their good start to the season. season and consolidated its sixth place (22 points).

From the start of the meeting, the Lensois were jostled by very leggy Angevins who imposed a very high pressing which often pushed the premises to the fault.

The RCL took its head out of the water little by little, but narrowly missed in the opposing camp to be able to be dangerous.

The first opportunity was therefore Angevin, with a strike from Angelo Fulgini in the small net (20th), while Boufal's attempt was captured by Jean-Louis Leca (23rd).

Lack of efficiency

The artesian response was quick: after a corner from Jonathan Clauss badly repelled, the ball returned to Kakuta, who unleashed a powerful strike that died in the small net (26th).

Shortly before halftime, the SCO opened the scoring following a great collective action initiated by Azz-Edine Ounahi and concluded by Boufal with a pricked ball that Leca could only slow down (0-1 , 40th).

As soon as they returned from the locker room, the Sang et Or, transformed, put pressure on Angers and were quickly rewarded by reversing the score: Kakuta first equalized with a pivot strike on a cross from Massadio Haïdara (1- 1, 48th), then Sotoca gave the advantage to RCL by nicely taking over a center from Przemyslaw Frankowski (2-1, 55th).

The artesian striker then came close to the double, but his head came close (69th).

In the process, the SCO took advantage of this lack of efficiency Lensois: after a corner played for two, Fulgini deposited the ball on the head of Thomas, who, him, did not miss the target (2-2, 70th).

Despite a last attempt by Seko Fofana, superbly diverted by Danijel Petkovic (90th + 3), the meeting ended with a score of logical parity.
