From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Anthony Lopes

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Amine Sbaï

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Angers SCO

Herba Guirassy was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

No hiding place for Hervé Koffi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Hervé Koffi, and the manager let it.

Match

A bad afternoon for Angers SCO against Toulouse FC

0‑1 to Toulouse FC, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Carlens Arcus falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

The chances came and went for Goduine Koyalipou

5 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Player ratings

Amine Moussaoui could not find anything

5.66. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Player ratings

Harouna Djibirin never got going

5.69 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

The RC Lens Herald

14 Sep 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Vincent Aboubakar

81 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. RC Lens lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Real improvement from Mattéo Escouflaire at RC Lens

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mattéo Escouflaire is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words at RC Lens training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Florian Thauvin is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Samson Baidoo

Marked 9.27 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The terraces

RC Lens supporters have found a favourite in Samson Baidoo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Samson Baidoo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Samson Baidoo the difference as RC Lens beat Stade Brestois

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Samson Baidoo. 1‑0 against Stade Brestois, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Amadou Haïdara was immovable

18 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

Tempers go at RC Lens

Mattéo Escouflaire was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Odsonne Édouard runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The Angers SCO Courier

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Anthony Lopes

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

The Stade Rennais deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Emmanuel Biumla reports back to Angers SCO with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Match

Goduine Koyalipou sends Angers SCO past Stade Brestois

It finished 3‑1, and it was Goduine Koyalipou’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Angers SCO.

Squad

Florent Hanin in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Angers SCO this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Angers SCO training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Carlens Arcus is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Goduine Koyalipou in the eights

A performance of 8.25 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Herba Guirassy runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

No hiding place for Tiago Azulão

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tiago Azulão, and the manager let it.

Market

RC Lens are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Angers SCO will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.
