00:00With three wins from their last four, Lens still have an outside chance of qualifying for Europe.
00:18Will Stills' hosts take on a struggling Rounds who are in relegation trouble after a run of just one win from their last 17 league matches?
00:27Yen competing with Sotaka, turned on by the Frenchman. Koyalipu now, shot on for Koyalipu straight at D'Euve.
00:38Nakamura, good ball for Ito. Junior Ito, lovely, this is Atangana. Great block by Medina.
00:48The Lens have got themselves in trouble here, the shot.
00:51We've got another serious player now in the second tier in Paris FC.
00:57We've got some serious financial backing these days.
01:01The cross from Akiyemi. Akiyemi again, Nakamura.
01:05Rounds have taken the lead.
01:08Keito Nakamura into double figures for goals this season and this is a big one.
01:13Akiyemi's cross, not really dealt with by Juma Ba, just played it back out to the Spaniard and he crossed once again. Nakamura scored.
01:28So a surprise, perhaps, on the cards here, it's Lens nil, Rounds one.
01:44A couple of times already, Juma Ba.
01:46But it doesn't look to be in a good state after getting that.
01:58Now Junior Ito.
02:01Zarao, he's gone to ground. Ito stands it up.
02:03Oh, well, Matt Ryan, he's got something on it.
02:12Such a dangerous ball, this, from Ito.
02:14That's in Fulgini again.
02:20Zarao.
02:21The left-footed ball from him, the header from Sotaka.
02:24And the save by Yevon Djerf.
02:29And then the cross from Zarao.
02:31We nodded goal with by Sotaka.
02:37Shot on four, Djerf, it's blocked by Sekhine.
02:40This is Tomasen.
02:41Adrian Tomasen.
02:44Yevon Djerf, equal to the task again, as Rouss.
02:50Good surge from Djerf.
02:52And then Tomasen getting his right-footed strike away.
02:59Deflected up and behind.
03:01No time for another corner.
03:03Lens frustrated because the halftime whistle comes.
03:06So, the first 45 minutes are gone in Lens.
03:13They are losing one heel against other Reims.
03:16This is an...
03:17So, the visitors start a round.
03:22So, 45 minutes away from securing what would be a tremendous and crucial victory.
03:26They lead Lens by one goal to nil.
03:29But the hosts are determined to...
03:34Zarao for Fulgini.
03:38Fulgini whipping it into the middle.
03:40The header down by Koyalapu.
03:41And it's gone over the crossbar.
03:45A huge chance.
03:47Lovely ball in from Fulgini.
03:50And Koyalapu just hooking the second attempt over after a great stop from Djerf.
03:56Good, strong header down.
04:05Touched forward by Zarao for Djerf.
04:09Far post for Puyi.
04:12Rouse scramble it clear.
04:14Only as far as Grady hits crosses.
04:16Nodded goalwards.
04:18Denies Florian Sotica.
04:21Good pressure again from Lens at the start of this second half.
04:26One for the cameras, that, Yevvangev.
04:35Relatively easy save, but it looks spectacular.
04:43Fulgini with the cutback.
04:44Eyes off the bar.
04:46Sotica getting closer for Lens.
04:50So, reigning in on the Rouse goal at the moment.
04:52Really good run from Angelo Fulgini.
04:54He looked up.
04:55Sotica in loads of space.
04:58The angle wasn't that easy.
04:59He's stroked it beautifully.
05:01But it's just touched the crossbar.
05:06Fullback playing centre-half as well now.
05:12Zarao.
05:12Zarao goes for goal.
05:14That had some sting in it.
05:15And Sergio Akiyemi has moved into the centre-back position.
05:21Koyalipu.
05:22Koyalipu goes for goal.
05:24And yet again, Yevangev gets down.
05:28Zarao.
05:28Zarao.
05:30Medina.
05:31Zarao.
05:33Zarao.
05:33Zarao.
05:34Zarao.
05:34Zarao with the cross-off.
05:37It just rolled all the way through.
05:40Zarao.
05:40Zarao went just wide of that far post to the relief of Yevangev.
05:46I think this is a cross from Andy Yevangev.
05:50He very nearly sneaked inside the far post.
05:55This is Thomason.
05:56Trying to squeeze it through.
05:59Thomason into the box.
06:00Tackled by Patrick.
06:01He's got it again, Adrian Thomason.
06:04Snapshot into the arms of Yevangev.
06:07Excellent perseverance from the former Strasbourg man, Adrian Thomason.
06:16Mori Gabin for once losing possession there in a dangerous area.
06:25Yev.
06:26Yev through.
06:27Great chance here for Loz.
06:28Wesley Saeed.
06:30He's pushed the ball too far.
06:31Saeed still denied by Yev.
06:34Well, the substitute.
06:38Sotoka.
06:39Good cross from him.
06:40Good header.
06:41Zarao.
06:42Zarao with the strike.
06:44Yev gets down.
06:45This is Thomason.
06:47Jeff again.
06:49The Rouse goalkeeper outstanding tonight.
06:53Nimzola.
06:56It's Noah Songhe bringing the ball clear.
06:59Rounds have got real possibilities.
07:00Look at Nakamura to his left.
07:02Ketan Nakamura in the clear.
07:04Can he finish the game off?
07:05He can.
07:07Brilliant from the Japanese.
07:10And Rouse are on their way to victory.
07:13It's a clinical counter-attack.
07:21Well, the counter-attack brilliantly launched by Noah Songhe who, well, he ran 50-odd yards himself before slipping this pass perfectly into the stride of Ketan Nakamura.
07:32He's second of the night, his 11th goal this season.
07:38Big performance from a super footballer.
07:41Oh, infuriating for Lens, who have given so much, have pushed and pushed and pushed.
07:59Now, a chance.
08:06Now, a chance.
08:08Well, that probably sums up Lens' night.
08:11The full-time West Oplar is...
08:20And the match is over.
08:24It's a victory for Stathraeim.
08:272-0.
08:28Over Lens.
08:30And with this victory, Stathraeim.
08:32Stathraeim.
