Lens produced Matchday 1’s most dramatic finish, winning 3–2 at Slavia Praha after trailing 2–1 beyond the 90-minute mark. UEFA’s report confirms that the hosts twice led despite playing with ten men.
Abdallah Sima cancelled out the first Slavia goal. Florian Thauvin then answered the second before Ruben Aguilar struck the winner in the 93rd minute.
The comeback is a reminder that game state can become more important than reputation. Slavia’s dismissal created opportunity, but Lens still had to maintain pressure and execute twice when the clock was nearly empty.
Fan debate: was this Matchday 1’s best comeback, or does a late escape hide a poor performance? The score and sequence are confirmed; the judgment belongs to supporters.
