Soccer-Lille go top as Lens rally to draw 2-2 at Le Mans

Sept 13 (Reuters) - Last season’s runners-upRC ⁠Lens fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 ⁠at promoted Le Mans on Sunday, while Lille went top of ‌the Ligue 1 standings after an easy 2-0 triumph over Troyes.

The victory put Lille top with 10 points from four matches, ahead of Monaco and Rennes on goal difference.

Lens, who ​had lost two of their opening three ⁠fixtures of the campaign, moved to ⁠four points while Le Mans are still looking for their first win ⁠of ‌the season.

Le Mans looked in command in the first half at Stade Marie-Marvingt after Adil Bourabaa headed home a rebound after ⁠Louis Mafouta’s effort bounced back off the crossbar in ​the 32nd minute and ‌then a quick counter-attack allowed Lucas Calodat to double their advantage ⁠in the ​44th minute.

Lens pulled one back from tall Senegalese striker Abdallah Sima in stoppage time before the break and then equalised with another header, this time from substitute ⁠Franjo Ivanovic six minutes into the second half.

Thorgan ​Hazard hammered a free kick against the crossbar in the 80th minute as Lens came within inches of completing a turnaround.

Lille bounced back after their ⁠home loss to Real Betis in the Champions League in midweek to easily beat Troyes in a one-sided encounter atStade Pierre-Mauroy.

Fullback Tiago Santos scored for a second time this season as he curled a first-time, right-footed shot ​into the far top corner.

Ethan Mbappe, sent off ⁠in the Champions League in midweek, came on as a substitute to add ​the second goal in stoppage time.

Later on Sunday, ‌champions Paris St Germain will seek their ​first league win of the season as they visit Stade Brestois.

9 月 13 日（路透社）——上赛季亚军朗斯队周日在客场挑战升班马勒芒队时，在两球落后的情况下奋起直追，最终以 2-2 战平对手；与此同时，里尔队轻松以 2-0 战胜特鲁瓦队，登上了法甲积分榜榜首。

这场胜利使里尔队以四场比赛积10分的成绩位居榜首，凭借净胜球优势力压摩纳哥和雷恩。

朗斯队在赛季初的三场比赛中输掉了两场，目前积4分，而勒芒队仍在寻求本赛季的首场胜利。

在上半场，勒芒队在玛丽-马尔文特球场占据了优势。第32分钟，路易斯·马富塔的射门击中横梁弹出，阿迪尔·布拉巴头球补射入网；第44分钟，卢卡斯·卡洛达特快速反击，将比分扩大为2-0。

朗斯在半场补时阶段由塞内加尔高大前锋阿卜杜拉·西马扳回一球，然后在下半场开场六分钟后，替补上场的弗兰乔·伊万诺维奇头球破门，将比分扳平。

第 80 分钟，索尔根·阿扎尔的一记任意球击中横梁，朗斯队险些完成逆转。

里尔在周中的欧冠联赛主场输给皇家贝蒂斯后迅速反弹，在皮埃尔·莫鲁瓦球场轻松击败特鲁瓦，取得了一场一边倒的胜利。

后卫蒂亚戈·桑托斯本赛季第二次破门得分，他用右脚凌空抽射，皮球划出一道美妙的弧线飞入远角。

周中欧冠联赛中被罚下的伊桑·姆巴佩替补上场，在伤停补时阶段打入第二球。

周日晚些时候，卫冕冠军巴黎圣日耳曼将客场挑战布雷斯特队，力争本赛季联赛首胜。
