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.
Yes, Lens didn't have too much trouble locking in the win in this match, they were able to take the lead quickly in the 9th minute and then they doubled their lead in the 16th minute. Even though Monaco tried to reduce the position, Lens managed to make it difficult for them and managed to close the space so that Monaco didn't get a goal. to reduce the goal difference. As a result Lens can convincingly win with a score of 3-0.
