Par un autre coup du sort, Monaco allait ouvrir le score grâce à la tête de son capitaine Denis Zakaria qui reprenait un corner de Minamino (84e)
Minamino had a huge chance to open the scoring just after the 20-minute mark, when Maghnes Akliouche threaded through a ball to the Japan international whose effort was saved valiantly by Brice Samba – but the flag would be raised for offside only seconds later. Lens would have a chance of their own when Ruben Aguilar fizzed a ball into Adrien Thomasson, but Philip Kohn’s intervention snuffed out the danger. Wesley Saïd then broke in-behind but his strike was well over the bar
es Sang & Or would come as close as they possibly could to opening the scoring when Adrien Thomasson beat Köhn with a lifted strike on goal that hit the post. Wesley Saïd followed up seconds later with a first-time effort that excruciatingly rattled the crossbar
