Whatever the weather, a bright sun shines on the North of France as spring approaches. The two Ligue 1 clubs in the Hauts-de-France region are indeed in good spirits, after their respective outings on Saturday March 18, during the 28th day of Ligue 1.

Opposed to the Angevin red lantern at the Bollaert stadium, the Lensois did not do it in the lace. Large winners (3-0), the Artésiens temporarily climb to second place in Ligue 1, with a point ahead of Olympique de Marseille, which travels to Reims at the end of this 28th day.

Lois Openda strikes again

To temporarily regain this place of dolphin, which has long been his this season, RC Lens has been able to count on his strong men. Captain Seko Fofana opened the scoring first, before Loïs Openda scored twice. The young Belgian prodigy thus remains on five goals in two games, after his record hat-trick on the lawn of Clermont, during the 27th day.

A little earlier in the afternoon, and after a match interruption caused by a violent storm, Losc won in Toulouse (2-0), thanks to achievements from Alexsandro Ribeiro and Mohamed Bayo.

Lille took the opportunity to take fifth place, qualifying for the Europa League conference, at the expense of Rennes, which moved to the Parc des Princes on Sunday afternoon.
