The French club Angers have won their first game in the Ligue 1, defeating Lens 2-0 at the Stade de Reims on Saturday afternoon.
Openda scored twice for the hosts while Fofana also had one goal to make it a two-goal victory for the team that has struggled this season. The match was played under the conditions of COVID-19, with no fans allowed inside the stadium.
The win is a big boost for the Angers side, who were struggling last season after losing to Marseille in the Coupe de France final. They now look set to qualify for Europe next season, with a trip to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16 already confirmed.
It was a strong performance from both players, as they each scored a goal. Openda added another brace for his side, while Fofana's goal gave them a 4-0 lead heading into halftime.
However, it was only a matter of time before the Angers side found themselves in trouble. A second-half penalty shootout saw both teams tie at 2-2. This was followed by a 58th-minute winner from Fofana, sealing the victory for the visitors.
The win was a significant achievement for the Angers side, who had lost four straight games before the match against Lens. It was a tough test for them, but they managed to bounce back and secure a crucial victory.
Overall, it was a great start to the season for the Angers side, and they will be looking forward to their next game against Nice on Tuesday night. With a few more wins under their belt, they should be able to maintain their momentum and progress towards Europe next season.
