6:53 p.m. – No winner in Lens (1-1)

Lille OSC has more control of the ball but is sorely lacking in efficiency: at the break, possession of the ball is slightly in favor of Lille OSC (57% against 43%), but it is RC Lens who managed the greater number of shots on target (3 against 1) and which leads to the score (1-0).
