Lens tightened the screws on Paris Saint-Germain, the leaders, and Marseille, the second, by defeating its host, Toulouse, 1-0, on Tuesday, in the thirty-third round of the French Football Championship.
Lens owes its victory to its Belgian international striker Luis Obenda, who scored the only goal in the 33rd minute, bringing his tally to 18 goals this season.
Lens took advantage of Paris Saint-Germain's loss to its guest Lorient 1-3 on Sunday, strengthening its position in third place with 69 points, reducing the difference between them to six points, and to one point between him and Marseille II, who won Auxerre 2-1 on Sunday as well.
On the other hand, Toulouse, who won the Cup competition on Saturday at the expense of Nantes, suffered its sixteenth loss this season, so its score froze at 41 points in thirteenth place.
The stage ends on Wednesday with the Brest meeting with Nantes.
