The 20-year-old Socceroo played the full 90 minutes, his second run-out for the club after his debut last week, as Lens upset Ligue 1 outfit Troyes to book their spot in the quarterfinals.

Cristian Lopez netted the games only goal as Lens progressed 1-0 victors. Paris Saint Germain, Marseille and Lyon all also progressed. 

Gersbach's on loan from Norwegian giants Rosenborg FK, with the hope of playing regularly in the lead up the 2018 World Cup, and March friendlies against Norway and Colombia. 

The fullback's experience playing in Norway bides well for the March 24 friendly, however with the likes of Callum Elder, James Meredith and Aziz Behich playing regularly at a high level, Gersbach will need as much time as possible to prove himself.
