Strasbourg Hold Lens to 1-1 Draw in Matchday 24

Strasbourg and Lens settled for a 1-1 draw in Matchday 24, with Panichelli scoring first and Mamadou Sangaré levelising for the visitors.

Strasbourg’s home side opened the scoring when Joaquin Panichelli chipped the goalkeeper after a mistake by Ismaël Ganiou. Lens responded with a half‑volley from Mamadou Sangaré, who finished a cleared corner from outside the box. The match saw Lens dominate possession but squandered several chances, including a potential penalty that was overturned after a review of contact. Strasbourg missed a chance to restore the lead when Panichelli was fouled in the box, but the referee declined to award a penalty.

The draw leaves Lens unable to overtake the top spot in the Ligue 1 standings, while Strasbourg remain in the upper half of the table, keeping their hopes of a European qualification alive.
