Ghana midfielder Abdul Samed Salis has reacted after featuring for RC Lens in their goalless draw against OGC Nice in the French Ligue 1 on Thursday evening.

The 22-year-old lasted the entire duration of the game as he helped his side secure a vital point at the Allianz Riviera.

"Tough game. Good to be back, Ligue 1," he wrote on Twitter after the game.

Lens controlled the game from the start but could not find the breakthrough in a mostly uneventful half and the pattern resumed after the break as Nice looked to counter-attack.

The hosts had a chance to snatch the points but substitute Remy Lascary's shot from outside the box three minutes into stoppage time flew wide.

Lens are currently 2nd on the league table with 37 points, seven behind PSG after 16 games.

Samed Salis has 16 appearances for Lens this season and scored one goal in the process.

He represented Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where he featured in all the games as Black Stars exited the tournament at the group stage.
