Lens made two changes on 58 minutes, with Odsonne Édouard on for Franjo Ivanovic and Florian Thauvin on for Thorgan Hazard, but Carlos Forbs made it 3-0 on 72 minutes from Hugo Vetlesen’s assist, with Vetlesen having come on in the 67th minute. Club Brugge KV later made three changes on 82 minutes, while Lens also sent on Kyllian Antonio for Ruben Aguilar at the same point.
