In a thrilling finish to the match, Lille secured their place in the next round of the Europa League with a dramatic stoppage-time win over Dynamo Kyiv.
The game had been tightly contested throughout, but it was Lille who came out on top in the end. In the 92nd minute, a corner kick from the right wing found its way into the box and was headed back towards the goal by Lens defender Mathieu Debuchy.
But just as he thought he had cleared the ball away, it somehow bounced off the post and into the net. It was a stunning goal that left Dynamo Kyiv fans stunned and the Lille supporters celebrating in jubilation.
With only three minutes remaining in the game, Lille substitute Romain Saiss scored his first goal for the club to give them a crucial lead going into extra time.
And in stoppage time, Lens defender Benjamin Mendy saw his shot blocked by Lille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, allowing Bentaleb to race forward and score the winner with a powerful strike from distance.
It was a remarkable comeback for Lens, who were trailing 1-0 at half-time and had been reduced to ten men shortly after the restart through a red card for defender Youssef En-Nesyri.
But Lille's defense held firm and they managed to hold on until the final whistle, securing their passage to the next round of the Europa League. The win will be a huge boost for Lille ahead of their domestic campaign, which gets underway later this month.
