Contesto

RC Lens secured a spot in the Coupe de France final for the first time since 1998 on Wednesday, overpowering Toulouse 4-1 in a dominant semifinal performance. The Sang et Or, as the club is known, delivered a commanding display from start to finish at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, booking their place in the showpiece match against Paris Saint-Germain or Stade de Reims. The victory marks a historic milestone for a club that has long lived in the shadow of its past glory.

The visitors struggled to cope with the intensity and organization of the Lens midfield, which controlled the tempo and repeatedly cut off supply lines to Toulouse’s forwards. By halftime, Lens had doubled their advantage, leaving Toulouse with a steep hill to climb. Toulouse managed to pull one back early in the second half, briefly raising hopes of a comeback.
