RC Lens clinched a thrilling 1-0 victory over Angers in their Ligue 1 season opener, with Wesley Saïd scoring a stunning goal. Discover how the match unfolded and what this means for the teams moving forward.

Against the promoted Angers, RC Lens extricated themselves from a trap this Sunday in Ligue 1. Will Still's debut as head coach was marked by a vital victory, thanks to a stunning goal from Wesley Saïd. The match showcased a lively performance from both teams, with Angers proving to be a formidable opponent this season. Coached by Alexandre Dujeux, Angers pressed high and created an enjoyable first half, but ultimately fell short when Saïd capitalized on a moment of weakness to score in the 28th minute. Despite trailing, Angers maintained their momentum, but Kevin Danso's defensive prowess for RC Lens was crucial in securing the win. This victory sets a positive tone for Will Still's tenure at Lens.

In other Ligue 1 matches, Montpellier and Strasbourg played to a 1-1 draw. Habib Diarra opened the scoring for Strasbourg with a spectacular curling shot in the 58th minute, but Téji Savanier equalized for Montpellier with a penalty just nine minutes later. Meanwhile, Toulouse and Nantes ended their match in a goalless draw, with both teams struggling to find the back of the net despite some close chances.
