Fonseca sees Lyon cede to Lens and lose Openda

Coach Fonseca witnessed Lyon's double defeat: the team loses 2-1 to Lens on the sixth matchday of Ligue 1 and, at the same time, Belgian striker Lios Openda is forced to leave the field due to an injury.

Openda's injury

Openda, who arrived on loan from Juventus last summer transfer window, suffers a challenge by Ismaal Ganiou in the 58' that makes him fall again after getting up immediately. The young 2000-born holds the lower part of his right leg, leaves the field in tears and can no longer place his foot on the ground, being assisted by two members of the medical staff.

In the 60' the Japanese Keito Nakamura comes on in his place, but the damage is already done: Openda leaves the field in tears.

Consequences in the table

Lens opens the scoring in the 36' with Sotoca and doubles the lead in the 77' thanks to Udol, assisted by Florian Thauvin; Udol is sent off in the 84' and Merah narrows the gap five minutes from the 90th.

Lyon remains on 11 points, two behind leaders Monaco, while Lens moves up to 7 points. In the upcoming rounds, Lens faces Troyes after the second leg against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, and Lyon hosts Nice before taking on Crystal Palace in the Europa League.
