Lens Beat Nantes 3-0: Fofana Scores, Openda Assists.

Lens and Nantes played out a dull match at the Stade de France in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Lens won the game 3-0 with goals from Maxence Domachau, Benoît Costil and Jérôme Fofana.

The match was a case of two teams playing each other in their own terms. The visitors were more clinical in front of goal than their hosts, who struggled to create any meaningful chances.

However, it was Lens' young forward Jérôme Fofana who stole the show with his first goal for the club. The 20-year-old striker scored just before half-time with a powerful header from a corner.

Fofana's strike was only the second time he had scored for Lens, but it was enough to give the home side the lead going into the break. It was also a reminder of what a promising talent he is, with plenty of potential still to come.

The second goal came through Benoît Costil, who struck from a free-kick after a defensive error by Nantes. The French international's shot was well-placed and gave Lens a commanding lead heading into the second half.

The third goal of the day came courtesy of Maxence Domachau, who finished off a well-worked move down the left flank. The midfielder's finish was clinical and well-taken, giving Lens all three points.

Overall, it was a disappointing performance for Nantes, who looked sluggish throughout the match. They will be hoping to bounce back in their next game against Nice on Wednesday.
