In a stunning display of resilience, Lens overturned a two-goal deficit in the final moments of their UEFA Champions League match against Slavia Prague, securing a dramatic 3-2 victory on September 10, 2026.
Entering the 88th minute, the French side appeared destined for defeat as they trailed 2-1. However, captain Florian Thauvin ignited a whirlwind three-minute span that completely shifted the momentum. Under his leadership, Lens scored twice to erase the deficit and then added a third to seal the epic comeback win.
The triumph serves as an emphatic start to Lens’s campaign in Europe’s premier club competition, demonstrating their ability to fight until the final whistle against a determined Czech opponent in Prague.
I was ready to cancel my Champions League subscription before that comeback. Now I’m back in.
Great win, but can they keep this form against the top teams? This feels like a trap game start.
Does anyone else think Slavia choked? They looked done for after conceding that second equalizer.
I nearly lost my voice screaming at the TV. Three goals in three minutes is absolutely insane.
What a finish! Thauvin is a legend. Lens truly showed heart in that final stretch.
