Dem start di match early for 3 PM, and eh, things don dey hot from the first whistle! (You fit feel di tension for di air like say na World Cup final!)
As di players don enter pitch, di atmosphere no gree dull at all. Lens don show say dem get serious plan to chop dem rivals. Na so dem try push di ball forward from di start, throwing plenty of attacks on Paris FC like say dem no wan waste time!
Even as di match set go on, we dey see some drama unfold. Omo, be like say yellow card don land for Kebbal because him no gree keep him mouth shut (who go blame am? Na football we dey talk about!). Di match no dey calm down for anybody. Lens don get penalty just after few minutes when dem wahala di Paris FC defense.

Di Lens boys don dey attack like say dem wan carry di cup come home. Before you know am, fans dey chant loudly, dey carry di energy! But Paris FC no dey slack, dem dey try secure their space, trying to control di midfield and look for counter chances. We know say Kebbal na dem main man wey sabi score, and e go need to shine today!
Na true sey di Marek stand no go dey gree full today, as dem don close am after some rowdy youths decide sey dem go use firework show dem wahala during previous match with LOSC (who dem go fit impress, though?). But that one no go stop other fans to support their teams like true Naija people wey dem be.
As di first half dey close, Lens dey lead di game and dem look set to make another move for di second half. Dem don prepare di squad well, and if dem fit maintain dis momentum, wetin we go talk? Di match go sweet pass palm wine on Saturday, no lie!
For now, all eyes go dey on di pitch as we dey expect more goals and action. E be like say today go be one of di days we go remember for Ligue 1 history. No be only football but pure vibe, lazy gists, and of course, plenty laughter as dis drama dey unfold. Na wetin dey happen o, make we keep our fingers crossed!
