Strasbourg Hold Lens to 1-1 Draw in Ligue 1

Strasbourg hosted Lens in a crucial Ligue 1 encounter that ended in a 1-1 draw on February 27, 2026. The Artois side missed the chance to provisionally go top of the standings as Gary O'Neil's side battled to a hard-fought result.

Lens started strongly with Joaquin Panichelli chipping the goalkeeper to give the visitors the lead. However, Mamadou Sangaré equalized with a stunning half-volley from outside the penalty box. Both teams had chances to win the match, with Lens particularly wasteful in front of goal and a controversial penalty decision overturned in Strasbourg's favor.
