A thrilling six-goal encounter in Brest ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw, as RC Lens produced a remarkable comeback after a disastrous first half. The visitors were completely outplayed before the break, conceding three unanswered goals in a display that left them on the brink of collapse.

The early spotlight belonged to Daouda Guindo. The Mali international opened the scoring with confidence before turning provider, delivering a perfectly weighted assist for Adrien Thomasson to double the advantage. With momentum firmly on their side, the hosts looked destined for a comfortable victory in front of their home crowd.

Lens, known for their resilience, returned from the interval with renewed intensity and belief. What followed was a spirited and relentless fightback. Goal by goal, the visitors clawed their way back into the contest, eventually completing a sensational turnaround to salvage a 3-3 draw — a result that felt almost like a victory given the circumstances.
