Ten-man Lens were outplayed by their hosts from start to finish.
Iacob opened the floodgates as early as the 13th minute with a firm header and Goian doubled the mark just three minutes later in identical fashion after a defensive mix-up.
While Lens tried in vain to find a way through the Romanian defence, Dica made it 3-0 on the counterattack just before the break.
Gillet cleared off his own goal-line, before Dica finally volleyed home the fourth just after the hour mark.
Les Sang et Or's disastrous evening was capped off when Ivorian striker Aruna Dindane was shown a red card for a dangerous tackle with ten minutes left.
