After falling behind by two goals in the space of a few minutes, the Red Devils cut the deficit thanks to a goal by Fuss.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this friendly match, Lens naturally took control of the ball and dominated play in Rouen\u2019s half. The Red Devils held their ground, remaining solid and alert in the box, as demonstrated by Bassin\u2019s clearance off a shot by Sima (38\u2019). Earlier, at the start of the match, Maraval had deflected a shot by Thomasson (5\u2019), while just before halftime, Ganiou\u2019s header sailed over the crossbar (42\u2019). In the first half, Rouen also managed to create chances. After a nice move down the left flank, Benzia tried his luck from the edge of the box but missed the target (6&#8242;). Then, just past the half-hour mark, Ba-Sy also shot wide following a two-man corner (33&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p>After the break, just as in the first half, Maraval was quickly called into action (55&#8242;). He could do nothing to stop Said\u2019s penalty (1-0, 56&#8242;), nor Bulatovic\u2019s direct free kick (2-0, 61&#8242;). Meanwhile, Cartillier\u2019s volley sailed over the bar following good work by Fuss (60&#8242;). Fuss then curled a shot from the left side of the box, over the bar (67&#8242;), but didn\u2019t miss the chance to cut the deficit ten minutes later, finishing off a nice move involving Egny and then Cartillier (2-1, 76&#8242;). The Red Devils put in a strong performance at Bollaert-Delelis and lost by a single goal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match Report<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Saturday, April 11, 2026<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Bollaert-Delelis Stadium<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>RC Lens &#8211; FC Rouen 1899:<\/strong> 2-1 (0-0)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goal scorer for Rouen:<\/strong> Fuss (76&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>FC Rouen 1899:<\/strong> Axel Maraval (Temperton, 63&#8242;) \u2013 Enzo Genton (K\u00e9rou\u00e9dan, 83&#8242;), Sofyane Bouzamoucha (Ait Moujane, 79&#8242;), Cl\u00e9ment Bassin (cap.)
