The first goal struck by Lille OSC occurred in the first half of the match, only 10 minutes and 12 seconds into the game. Obviously, an early lead greatly boosted the morale of the home team and provided a challenging target to the visiting team. The second goal by Lille OSC took place an hour into the second half, giving Lens a mountain to climb.

Lens, however, managed to respond after 17 minutes and 43 seconds into the second half, reducing the deficit to 2-1. Nevertheless, it was already too late to recover, and the score remained until the final whistle.

Furthermore, Lens committed more fouls with 14 compared to Lille's 10, indicating a slight aggression on their part, possibly due to the pressure of playing from behind.

There were no red cards in the match which indicates that despite some discipline issues, the match overall maintained a level of sportsmanship which is pivotal to the spirit of the game.

In conclusion, while Lens showed resilience and a fighting spirit, the early goal and subsequent goal by Lille OSC left them with too much to do.
