After scoring, Diabate rushed toward the touchline to hug Bordeaux coach Willy Sagnol, who could not hold back tears later on the bench. Sagnol apologized Thursday for making disparaging comments about African players this week.
Lens striker Yoann Touzghar scored a consolation goal with a penalty in the 74th.
