Monaco is not a small matter neither and Lens managed to beat them easily, that's something they really needed to do and they managed to do it, which is why I believe that it is an important win. It was definitely an impressive win without a doubt. They are not guaranteed to be second right now, they could still end up losing, but at the end of the day being second and trying to not lose that is better, being third and trying to catch second would have been harder.
So, this is why Lens got a very important win here and they will be happy about it tonight when they go to sleep and feel relaxed. Now it is onto next week, they need to keep doing this for a while until they are guaranteed that they will be second, they can't let their foot off the gas until it is a sure thing.
Lens' victory was indeed very impressive and almost everyone liked Lens' victory, which beat Monaco. maybe this is the goal for Lens to chase second place in the standings even though it is difficult to shift Marseille's position but this is a threat when the difference in points is only 1.
if Lens in the next match always gives a good performance, it is very unlikely that Lens can replace Marseille.
in the upcoming match Lens will compete against Toulouse and this is Lens' opportunity to get more points and shift the position of Marseille. but if Marseille plays against Auxerre and can score more, it might be a bit difficult to fight for second place in this standings.
