Lens vs Como
Como's goal spree humbles Lens
A stunning 9-1 thrashing in the Champions League leaves Lens reeling.
Como delivered a remarkable performance at Lens, racing to a 9-1 victory that defied all expectations. T. Douvikas was the star of the show with a hat-trick, supported by goals from N. Paz, L. da Cunha, M. Kempf, M. Liberali, M. Baturina, and an additional late strike. Lens managed a solitary reply through R. Aguilar, but it was little more than a consolation. This result was a huge upset against Fipster's high-confidence prediction of a Lens win.
