Eighty-two. That's the minute Lens fans will be singing about all week, because that's when Yoshizumi Kanoshima pulled the visitors level and turned a night drifting away from them into a 1-1 draw at Lille.
For over half an hour after Javi Cano struck on 56 minutes, Lille had it. The noise was up, the derby was theirs to close out. Then Kanoshima found the moment and the away end erupted. Moussa Kouakou and Goran Martinović, both once of Lens, know exactly what this fixture does to people, and they'll feel this one sting. Recent meetings have swung hard both ways, and this draw keeps the needle in it.
