Teenage striker Mezian Soares scored on his debut as Lens beat Nantes 1-0 on Friday to assure its place in next season’s Champions League and keep alive its slim hopes of wresting the Ligue 1 title from Paris Saint-Germain. Soares, a 16-year-old who has played for Portugal at youth level, came on as a 79th minute substitute and scored with his first kick of the game to crown one of European football's dream starts.
