French League News :: Covid-19 hit PSG beaten by promoted Lens - will a second virus wave stop football again?

Posted on 2020-09-11 by Gooner

A depleted Paris St-Germain side began their Ligue 1 campaign with a surprise loss against newly promoted Lens.

The match was in doubt after Champions League finalists PSG had seven players, including star striker Kylian Mbappe, test positive for coronavirus. Brazil forward Neymar, compatriot Marquinhos and Argentina internationals Angel di Maria and Mauro Icardi were all missing for the visitors.

Lens took full advantage on their return to the top flight as Ignatius Ganago punished goalkeeper Marcin Bulka's error to net the winning goal.

The match was played in front of 5,000 fans at Lens' Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
