Ligue 1: bad luck and victory for Jonas Omlin

A lucky little appearance by Swiss goalkeeper Jonas Omlin had no consequences for Montpellier. The south of France won on matchday 14 of Ligue 1 against the promoted Lens 3-2. After Montpellier’s early 2-0 lead, Omlin was the focus of the goals conceded. He first suffered an own goal because the ball flew to his back after a shot from the post and from there to the goal. Then Omlin owed the foul penalty when it ran out, which Lens used to make it 2-2. Gaëtan Laborde (69th) shot Montpellier to victory at the end.
