Lens come from behind to beat Paris FC at Stade Bollaert-Delelis
Lens came from a goal down to beat Paris FC 2-1 in Ligue 1 on Matchday 8 at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Yannick Cahuzac's side had lost their previous outing 3-0 at Club Brugge KV, but they turned the match around after the interval to collect all three points.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Paris FC took the lead in first-half stoppage time. Lassine Sinayoko provided the pass and Luca Koleosho finished in the 45+2 minute, sending the visitors in at the break ahead despite Lens having had more of the ball and the better of the chances.
Lens drew level in the 63rd minute when Thorgan Hazard set up Florian Thauvin for the equaliser. The roles reversed in the 83rd minute: Thauvin laid the ball off for Hazard, who scored the winner. Paris FC, under Liam Rosenior, could not respond in the closing stages.
The result lifted Lens from ninth to sixth, on 13 points, while Paris FC, who started the day third, dropped to fourth on 14. Lens travel to Lille on Friday 30 October in Ligue 1, and Paris FC host Monaco in the league on Sunday 1 November.
Florian Thauvin scored the equaliser and then provided the pass for Hazard's winner, earning a rating of 8.57, the highest of any player on the pitch. Hazard also contributed a goal and an assist.
Lens had nine shots to four and won the corner count six to one, a territorial advantage that eventually told after the break.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Lens 52%, the draw 24%, Paris FC 24%. It finished Lens 2–1 Paris FC.
Lens edge it on strength and home advantage — We give Lens 52% mainly because our strength rating has them a shade stronger, 1801 to 1734, and they also get the usual home advantage. The draw sits at 24%, a little below the usual rate of about 27% for a gap this size, because both sides' own recent games average 3.2 goals.
Why Lens at 52%?
Lens sit 67 points higher on our strength rating — 1801 to 1734. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.1% of 11,069 such games.
Why only 52%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 52% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 24% and Paris FC at 24%.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.8%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,375. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Paris FC have gained 65 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 40.0% of 11,927 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Lens are 5 games into a new manager (Yannick Cahuzac), appointed 53 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
