00:00The new year in Ligue 1, Lens seek a seventh straight win
00:03and the symbolic crown of autumn champions at the halfway stage.
00:14Fireworks at the Stade Muni.
00:18It's the first match of 2026 in Ligue 1.
00:21Toulouse against the leaders, Lens.
00:23Lens looking for a seventh consecutive win in the league
00:26that would equal a club record.
00:28Toulouse in their distinctive purple-white kits,
00:34kicking from left to right.
00:36They don't have a great record against Lens.
00:38They've only won one of their last 11 against the team from the northeast,
00:43a team from the southwest.
00:4721st century.
00:48They're going to have an early go with a long throw-in,
00:51which are very much back in vogue, aren't they, in European football?
00:58Here it comes, and it's an early start for Rissa.
01:02That new clears.
01:15Score tonight.
01:16They do it here.
01:19Defending from Toulouse,
01:20but falls to a yellow shirt of Tolvat.
01:24Lorient, Tolvat.
01:29Goldwoods, slightly weaker right foot,
01:31but that's going to be a corner.
01:32Corner.
01:32And it's headed just over by Ganyu.
01:58They've scored once this season.
02:02They can, but not there.
02:10They've come back in some states.
02:14He left them, and he's very happy about that.
02:19Toulouse against Longs.
02:208th against 1st in this first game of 26th.
02:31Busy early on, hasn't he?
02:40Suddenly won by Longs, who might have a chance here,
02:43and Edouard, the ball is going to fall to Tolvat.
02:46Tolvat, just wide.
02:51This one in by the looks of things.
02:56Tolvat rather miscued that,
02:58but it still went goalwards,
02:59and a good save from Ress.
03:01Touch on it.
03:02Miscued that one, but Saeed did so well,
03:04and tipped behind by Guillaume Reyes.
03:09I'm sensing this could be their moment,
03:11but Gaboho does well against Thomason.
03:14That's a foul.
03:32Through the first half.
03:34No goals, though, so far.
03:41Five goal-wise.
03:47The game.
03:51Breezy.
03:52New Year.
03:53Break.
03:57Lie to Edole.
04:02Orson-Edouard.
04:04Crunching tackle, and maybe a rather late one.
04:08Oh, it's a red.
04:10There's a red card.
04:13For Emerson.
04:15There.
04:16This is the perfect angle.
04:22Vlatovic.
04:22It's going to be Sarr.
04:27Vlatovic.
04:28And that's a good save.
04:29A super stop from Guillaume Reyes.
04:32Hitting a really good free kick.
04:35And a fine save.
04:36He's most aware there.
04:47Tolvan.
04:48Rest.
04:50Just palms it out.
04:52Tough evening, I think, for Guillaume Reyes and his defence.
04:58Tolvan again.
04:59Corners mount up.
05:02Can Longs make one pay?
05:04It's easier for Guillaume Reyes.
05:06It's a pass out.
05:12A rare attack for Toulouse.
05:14Donham does well.
05:17Comes Gaboho.
05:18That's a frustration from the Longs fans, but it's Toulouse fans, but it's going to be a corner.
05:28Feels that set-pieces will be important for them.
05:31With Vlatovic and a really good stop.
05:33So a rare corner for Toulouse.
05:54Donham is going to take it.
05:56Toulouse are down to ten at home, but the fans are behind them.
06:03And Donham, the Norwegian.
06:06Swings it in.
06:08There's a header from Charlie Cresswell.
06:11Based on it, really.
06:12Just been slowed down for Longs as well.
06:15Del Brest has the last kick of the first half.
06:18The first half of 2026.
06:21No goals.
06:22Mathieu Vernisse has sent off a player in Emerson.
06:26A couple of chances for each side.
06:33Toulouse have picked up a red card.
06:37And they've lost their captain to injury.
06:39And they hold on.
06:41Again, Paul in Lille.
06:42So through to the next end of the Cup of Nations incident,
06:56which is impacting a lot of teams in France.
06:59Presumably Ligue 1 players.
07:01African nations.
07:02Tackle from Cresswell, who's up for a battle tonight, isn't he?
07:22Toll Vat.
07:24Toll Vat.
07:25The right boot.
07:26Saeed puts it back.
07:28Is this going to be the chance?
07:29Not quite.
07:30It's lining up and Saeed puts it away.
07:33It was scrappy.
07:35But Wesley Saeed has his seventh of the season.
07:38And it's the first goal of 2026.
07:41It's for the league leaders.
07:43And it's for Longs.
07:46Wesley Saeed had one chance.
07:49Had a second.
07:50And he wasn't going to waste that one.
07:52And those Longs fans who made a long, long journey
07:55might be going home with a win.
07:57And Wesley Saeed, what a season he's having.
08:01And it's 1-0 for Lens.
08:06Well, Toulouse not happy about something in the build-up.
08:09We'll take another look at it.
08:11Toll Van puts it across.
08:12It was unselfish, wasn't it, from Saeed.
08:14But then the ball was lost by the youngster.
08:20Vossa.
08:22And it's 1-0 for him initially.
08:30Toulouse man.
08:36Abdul Hamid.
08:38Toll Van.
08:38Anderson.
08:46Inside to Udall.
08:48Saeed!
08:50Well, he's got one.
08:52The former Toulouse player and not far from another.
08:57Found it.
08:58Bit of space there, didn't he, between two defenders.
09:01And he'll be disappointed he didn't get it down.
09:05So close for...
09:06The other end of his career.
09:31He's back to...
09:34Here we go.
09:37I can't remember.
09:41Two years old, on his side.
09:44Maybe head to victory.
09:45Ganyu.
09:48Boho.
09:51Headed by Abdul Hamid again!
09:53And that's a brilliant save from Rez from Guillebogge!
09:56But Lens have the second.
09:58Adrian Tomlinson.
10:00And surely the three points.
10:03It looks like a perfect start.
10:06Footnote.
10:06A good night for Lens in the southwest of France.
10:10Come to Toulouse.
10:13Seen that.
10:14Red card early on.
10:16For the hosts.
10:17They made the most of it.
10:19Ganyu.
10:233-2.
10:26Guillebogge.
10:29Fafana.
10:31Saeed.
10:31Good play again from Lens.
10:33It might be a third, you know.
10:34He's lobbed over.
10:35Is he going to fall to Guillebogge?
10:36The ball was knocked through there.
10:38It was a good run.
10:39Thomasson looking for the lob.
10:41It was a good save by rest.
10:44Nearly a second.
10:52All the way Lens again.
10:54I can't believe it.
10:56Into the fifth minute of stoppage time.
10:59Belmont can't quite give and go.
11:03A little foul though.
11:08The XG overperformed of Lens.
11:13Overperformed.
11:15TFC.
11:22Big chances.
11:23Just to follow one on that XG.
11:256-0.
11:27For Lens.
11:28Always going to be tough.
11:29As it went off.
11:32Saeed.
11:34Opposed games.
11:36Ganyu.
11:38Ganyu.
11:40Ganyu again.
11:43Ganyu.
11:44Oh, that's a good run from the defender.
11:46Ganyu's come all the way.
11:48Ganyu makes it three.
11:50Well, he created it.
11:52And he finished it off.
11:54And it's ending a perfect night for Lens.
11:58Pierre Ganyu.
12:00The youngster firing past Guillaume Rest.
12:04And he's enjoying that.
12:06Just look at his face.
12:08Second of the season for him.
12:10And Lens have three points and three goals.
12:13And they're going to be top at halfway.
12:15Look at this from Ganyu.
12:18He's had such a good game.
12:20He thought, well, I'm going to try something near the end.
12:24And that was a striker's finish.
12:25No doubt about that.
12:30And Ganyu has his goal.
12:41Brilliant.
12:41Very curious ending to that game.
12:50But Lens have the win.
12:52Three goals.
12:54Saeed.
12:54And he's going to be top of the game.
12:55And he's going to be top of the game.
12:56And he's going to be top of the game.
12:57And he's going to be top of the game.
