Lens move second in Ligue 1 after beating Rennes
03.04.23 / 08:19
Lens edged above Marseille on goal difference into the second automatic Champions League qualifying place, six points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Rennes stayed fifth as their inconsistent season continued with a defeat in their first outing since winning 2-0 at PSG before the international break.
Belgium striker Openda nodded Florian Sotoca's cross over the line from close range to score his 15th Ligue 1 goal of the season and sixth in three league games. Lens survived a scare as Rennes centre-back Warmed Omari had a late effort ruled out for offside.
On Friday, Marseille were held to a 1-1 home draw by Montpellier to miss out on the chance to climb within four points of reigning champions PSG, who hosted Lyon on Sunday.
