"They are two great players who make the difference, but that is not an excuse," PSG captain Marquinhos said. [Lois Openda](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/276265/Loïs-Openda) restored his side's lead in the 28th minute when he got a through ball from [Seko Fofana](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/184118/Seko-Fofana) and ran into the box, where he beat defender [Marquinhos](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/297070/Marquinhos) before finishing into the lower-right corner of the goal.

Paris Saint-Germain will hope to stave off second-place Lens, who sit just eight points behind them in second place. The two sides will meet for their ...

Their last meeting came in April of last season, which resulted in a 1-1 draw with Messi scoring the lone goal for the Parisians. Marquinhos scored their first goal, then was credited with an own goal in the second half to bring the match back on level footing. The two sides will meet for their Matchday 17 contest on New Year’s Day with a 2:45 p.m.

Lionel Messi has not yet returned from World Cup duty, while Neymar is suspended, leaving Kylian Mbappe to carry PSG into 2023, something he's done often ...

The delivery from Przemyslaw Frankowski is a laser that's not dealt with well, but nobody from Lens can get a head to it. There are questions about this one as the Lens goalkeeper Brice Samba seemed to have the ball in his hands, but Hugo Ekitike slashed right through and banged it away from him and poked it into the net. A sensational ball from the right flank by Frankowski came to a completely unmarked Claude, but his volley attempt was awful and it bobbles right to Gianluigi Donnarumma. The ball falls right at the feet of Openda with his back to goal who produces a stunning backheel, and Claude-Maurice finishes it off. Lois Openda is the creator once again, and Alexis Claude-Maurice is the beneficiary in front of net. PSG get the rebound and recycle, with Kylian Mbappe able to get around a double-team to deliver a cross which is dangerous across the face of goal, but nobody is there to pounce. What a start to the second half for the hosts, and they go 3-1 up! It's Achraf Hakimi who lets rip from the top of the box and produces a two-fisted punch from the Lens goalkeeper. He receives the ball at the top of the penalty area, and is immediately swarmed by four Lens players. A delivery from Marco Verratti from deep comes to Nordi Mukiele at the far post, and he heads it horizontally to Pablo Sarabia on the doorstep. The hosts at Stage Bollaert-Delelis, backed by a boisterous crowd of home supporters, were incisive on the counter-attack and overwhelmed the PSG midfield. Instead, Lens reignited the Ligue 1 title race and put PSG on notice as European play nears a return.
