00:00This new season is the 2026-2027 season of the Ligue 1, right now on Binsports.
00:09Felix Mollard is a cauldron of noise once again as Lens kick off their latest Ligue 1 campaign,
00:15looking to build last season's success.
00:18They finished as runners-up to PSG and won the French Cup.
00:21They host Oxair, first up this season.
00:26Oxair finished in 15th position last term.
00:29They only secured their top flight safety today.
00:36An offside flag has penalised the visitors here.
00:39Oxair playing in a chain strip of two seasons ago.
00:43Chance maybe for Lens.
00:44Big chance for Lens saved by Diop.
00:48Good football from the home side.
00:49Florian Tovan with the stinging effort.
00:54Already, Mamadou Diop showing off his big, strong frame.
00:58He's a giant of a man.
01:01And he used a pass.
01:03Now possibilities for Oxair.
01:05The low strike is deflected behind, and it will be...
01:09What can his left foot produce?
01:13It's to create the angle.
01:16All defended, and Pierre-Four can try to bring the ball clear.
01:20Oh, no!
01:21Oxair have conceded a penalty.
01:24Well, the debutant, Pierre-Four, tried to bring the ball away, but he's clearly used his arm.
01:30That's what the referee has seen.
01:33Mathieu Venice didn't hesitate.
01:34Let's have a look again.
01:35Pierre-Four competing for this ball.
01:40He's got his arm on Ghaniou's arm.
01:43Looks totally clear.
01:50Tovan, no run-up at all, sends Mamadou Diop the wrong way, Lancer in front.
01:55Tovan up and running in Ligue 1 this season.
01:59And Oxair, after conceding a cheap penalty, have been punished.
02:09So far, so good then for Dino Topmola.
02:12Victorious in his competitive debut here against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions Trophy.
02:18Now he's watched his side take an early lead against Oxair.
02:22All as you like from Tovan, watching the goalkeeper.
02:27And he enjoyed that.
02:38Now the long ball over the top.
02:40It's a good searching pass for Dani Namasso.
02:43Namasso, onto his left foot, jinking back onto his right.
02:47He had deflected effort up.
02:53Good header from Udall and a hard running.
02:57Abdullah Sima has been fouled here.
03:00And it's a red card.
03:02Mathieu Vernis showing a straight red card to Christ Makhosok.
03:12Well, he has been judged to have denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
03:17As Abdullah Sima looked to have got the better of him.
03:22Yeah, Sima with an excellent touch.
03:25Heading inside that penalty area, bearing down on goal.
03:31And he's been taken out by the debitant Makosso.
03:35A summer signing from Luton, who has been sent off.
03:39To a penalty from their captain, Florian Tovan.
03:43It got worse for Oxair when Makosso was sent off on his debut.
03:49Oxair have got it all to do.
03:51It's L'Anse 1, Oxair nil at the break.
03:56And that's going to be it for the first half penalty girl from Porenzovan.
04:01It's making a difference so far in this.
04:06L'Anse, a goal up and a man up against Oxair here at the stand.
04:12Felix Dolat de Lailis.
04:14L'Anse coming forward.
04:15Ivanovic, Sima.
04:17Sima, beautifully done.
04:19All back for Ivanovic.
04:21Can he get his goal?
04:22He has done.
04:24The debut goal for Frenjo Ivanovic.
04:28The Croatian.
04:30On loan from Benfica.
04:32Doubles, lances lead.
04:36It was really nicely worked between Abdelaz Sima and Ivanovic.
04:46And he showed real strength here.
04:49The young attacker.
04:51Hold off his opponent.
04:54Before sweeping the ball home.
04:58He was being pulled back by Sineli Diamonde.
05:01But the referee playing sensible advantage.
05:05It's a fine finish.
05:11L'Anse 2, Oxair nil.
05:14Frenjo Ivanovic now.
05:16With his first goal in Ligue 1, he is up and running.
05:19And that will do his confidence a lot of good.
05:21A brilliant season two years ago in Belgium with Union Saint-Giloise.
05:26When he entered more than 20 goals and helped them win the title.
05:31Undergoing much tougher last season.
05:34And Benfica.
05:37Ivanovic now.
05:41Ivanovic.
05:43Little pass in behind.
05:45It's a good one.
05:45Tovan chips it.
05:46Surely.
05:493-0 loss.
05:50But it won't count.
05:52Saud Abdelhamid heads it in.
05:54But the flag's up.
05:55I see him against Tovan.
05:56Let's have a look.
05:57Ivanovic.
05:59The pass.
06:00A really tight call.
06:01Tovan perhaps just off.
06:05Frustration for Abdelhamid.
06:18Here is a hammered up.
06:22Namaso goes down.
06:23Wants a penalty.
06:24Gets a penalty.
06:29Can Orcs air get their first goal of the season.
06:33Cameroon international Danny Namaso.
06:38Placed this one on the spot.
06:40He hasn't scored Ligue 1 goals since March.
06:43Managed three last season overall.
06:47Up against one of the best young goalkeepers in Ligue 1.
06:51Robben Rissa.
06:57Namaso steps up and he buries it.
07:00Ocs air do have their first goal this season.
07:03And they've pulled back to within a couple of goals now.
07:08Still a long, long way to go.
07:10But Danny Namaso is no mistake from the spot.
07:22Second penalty in the afternoon.
07:26Very well taken by Namaso.
07:28Struck it true.
07:35Skorras.
07:37Tovan.
07:38Nicely worked.
07:40This is Michel Skorras.
07:41That's the cross.
07:41And it's turned in by Ghaniou.
07:45The centre-back.
07:47The man.
07:49Emerging as a talisman.
07:51And a crowd favourite here.
07:53That ball has made it 4-1.
07:59A 21-year-old defender with a big, big future.
08:03Shown he can chip in with goals here.
08:07Lens enjoying themselves.
08:11In the August sunshine.
08:13Abdelasim are on the charge initially.
08:16Causing all sorts of trouble to Pieds-Four.
08:22Ball then worked back out to the right-hand side.
08:29It's a really inviting cross.
08:35Does Ghaniou get the touch or is it the defender?
08:44He's certainly claiming it.
08:46Ismailou.
08:47Ghaniou.
08:57Now, what's there?
08:59In with a chance here.
09:01Ondangai.
09:03The looks there have got another goal back.
09:08Laminti arriving at the far post.
09:11And perhaps this one isn't quite done yet.
09:14The ten men just won't go away.
09:18Came from Tovan's free kick.
09:20Pushed away by Diop.
09:23This long ball.
09:25Pieds-Four.
09:26Just wasn't dealt with.
09:28Helped on by Danois.
09:30And the substitute.
09:31Ondangai doing really well.
09:33His cross perfect for Laminti.
09:36Credit to the Oxxair right-back for making the run and getting up in the box like that.
10:05He's got a chance to see his goal.
10:23He owes some of it to the approach play from Abdoulasimah.
10:31Holding off the Oxxair defender and just rolling it into his path.
10:38Very good afternoon, though, for the Croat.
10:47Which was instrumental as well in the Abdoulhamid goal.
10:52Finding the path through for Tovan.
10:54Tovan crossing for Saud Abdulhamid.
10:58The afternoon as Tovan goes down.
11:25Tovan's free kick.
11:39There's the shout for Tova.
11:55Foul from number five, Danois on Tova.
11:57Penalty to Oxer and a few bates talked himself into the book as well.
12:18So Tova, this time will he have a proper run up? He does. Tova buries it.
12:26His second of the afternoon. It is a five-star performance from Russian club to Lens.
12:33Marseille got four. Lens have done even better here.
12:44And Florian, having abandoned his walking slowly up to the ball technique, has just thrust this shot low into the
12:55bottom corner.
12:56No chance for Diop. Lens five, Oxer two.
13:14Possibilities for Lens. Can they get that sixth goal? Talking Hazard.
13:18Paul comes back now to the edge of the box. Hazard again.
13:24Edouard.
13:25They survived just about.
13:30All time.
13:31At the Stade Felix, Ballard, Deleilis.
13:35Well, Lens lost their coach in the summer. They lost.
13:38...
13:38Jeff.
13:40...
13:43...
13:45...
13:46We'll be back.
