Lens lose again ahead of Champions League date
Lens's difficult start to the new season continued as Mamadou Kone scored his first Ligue 1 goal to give Lorient a 1-0 win.
Lens endured another tough start to the new season, falling to a 1-0 defeat against Lorient on Saturday. Mamadou Kone scored his first Ligue 1 goal as the visitors claimed the win. Lens had sold several key players and lost their coach during the close season, which appeared to affect their performance. New boss Dino Toppmoeller started the season strongly by defeating Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions Trophy and leading Lens to a 5-2 victory over Auxerre.
However, a loss at Strasbourg followed, marking the team's second consecutive setback. Lens faced a challenging Lorient side in their upcoming Champions League match, which they are set to play on Thursday.
