PARIS (Reuters) - Lois Openda shone as RC Lens boosted their Champions League hopes with a 3-0 home win against Monaco, one of their direct rivals for a spot in Europe's premium club competition, in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
Belgium striker Openda struck twice before the break and set up midfielder Adrien Thomasson for the third goal in the second half to provisionally lift Lens up to second on 66 points with seven games left.
Paris St Germain closed in on the title with a 2-1 win at Angers that put them on 75 points on Friday. Seven minutes later, Openda doubled the advantage with a volley under the bar from Deiver Maachado's cross to stun the visitors.
