Lens edge Ajaccio in Ligue 1 Round 11 with Fofana's double scoring Lens edge Ajaccio in Ligue 1 Round 11 with Fofana's double scoring, as the French champions secured all three points at the Stade de l'Arena on Saturday afternoon.
The match saw Lens dominate possession and create numerous opportunities for their star forward, Fofana, who was instrumental in securing the victory. The Senegalese international scored twice in the first half, both from close-range finishes, to put Lens ahead before the break.
Ajaccio were unable to find a way back into the game after the break, and Lens continued to apply pressure in search of a third goal. Finally, the visitors broke through in the 87th minute when midfielder, Mbaye Diagne, found space on the left-hand side of the penalty area and hit a powerful shot that beat Ajaccio goalkeeper, Yassine Boudiaf.
The result means that Lens have now won their last two matches in Ligue 1, while Ajaccio remain winless since their opening day victory over Rennes. It will be interesting to see how the teams perform against each other again in the coming weeks, as they look to secure their places in the top four.
