Lens defeated Ajaccio 2-0 in the latest round of Ligue 1 matches on Saturday evening. The victory was all the more impressive given that Lens had been struggling for form recently.

The match began with both teams showing their intent from the outset, with Ajaccio taking the lead after just two minutes through a header from the far post. However, Lens quickly responded and equalized through a powerful strike from the left by midfielder Benoit Pires.

Ajaccio were unable to hold onto their advantage and Lens took control of the game, creating numerous chances before finally finding the back of the net through a clinical finish from Fofana.

Fofana's second goal came just five minutes later as he latched onto a loose ball in the box and slotted it past the Ajaccio goalkeeper to secure a comfortable win for his side.

Overall, Lens' victory was a much-needed boost for the team who have struggled recently. With the pressure off, they can now focus on improving their form going forward and building towards a strong end to the season.
