Find the results of this Sunday afternoon’s matches, counting for the 5th day of Ligue 1.
It would have been difficult to imagine the current picture of the Ligue 1 rankings a few weeks ago, at the dawn of this 2023-24 season. Because this particularly lively summer has completely disrupted the established order. Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille are still groping, Lens is going through a very delicate period, and behind a Monaco team comfortably installed in the leader’s chair, certain teams called upon to fight for their survival are taking advantage of the opportunity to stand out from the crowd. game.
Thunder from Brest!
We will have to wait to see if Brest is a hit of the summer or not, but the Finistère club is riding a dynamic that could take it far. After having calmly validated its continuation last season, Eric Roy’s team has had an astonishing start to the season.
This Sunday, she struck a big blow by signing a great victory on the lawn of another credible outsider, Stade de Reims (2-1). The Champagne club had however broken the deadlock through Richardson (1-0, 19th), but Camara (1-1, 50th) and Lees-Melou (1-2, 56th) scored in quick succession to reverse the situation. Result of the races: Brest is provisionally in 2nd place in the ranking behind ASM. Reims is 9th.
Nantes gives itself some fresh air, Strasbourg and Montpellier back to back
The other good operation of the day is to the credit of FC Nantes, which confirms its revival by winning its first victory of the season, on the pitch – in poor condition – of Clermont (1-0). A goal from Moses Simon after returning from the locker room was enough for the happiness of the Canaries, who took a good breath of fresh air and jumped to 15th place to get out of the red zone. The situation of Clermont, 16th, is worrying.
Finally, there was no winner in the match between Strasbourg and Montpellier. These two teams stuck in the soft underbelly of the ranking – 10th and 14th respectively – parted with a parity score (2-2). A frustrating scenario for the MSHC which had taken off thanks to Khazri (0-1, 35th) and Nordin (0-2, 40th), before sinking in the second half to allow Racing to snatch a point following achievements from Delaine (1-2, 63rd) and Motiba (2-2, 69th).
