Sevilla saw a lead slip through their grasp in the UEFA Champions League group stage at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on Wednesday as Lens came back to earn a 1-1 draw thanks to an Angelo Fulgini goal.
Fulgini scored for Lens in the 24th minute when he found the net with a free-kick high into the right corner.
Lucas Ocampos was on target for the home team.
Ocampos punished Lens early on by breaking the deadlock in the ninth minute when he steered home a header following a corner. The attacking midfielder finished high into the centre of the goal after combining with Ivan Rakitic. But Lens hit back and the Fulgini leveller came 15 minutes later.
Wastefulness in front of goal impacted both sides in the game, Ocampos spurning a good chance for Sevilla, Lens rueing a lack of composure from Florian Sotoca and Morgan Guilavogui.
