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.

12:58And he's going to be top of the game.

12:59And he's going to be top of the game.

13:00And he's going to be top of the game.

13:01And he's going to be top of the game.

13:02And he's going to be top of the game.

13:03And he's going to be top of the game.

13:08And he's going to be top of the game.

13:09And he's going to be top of the game.
