Find the results of this Sunday’s matches, counting for the 9th day of Ligue 1.
While the big names Lens, Paris, Nice and Marseille had experienced varying fortunes, this Sunday was launched by the Breton derby between Lorient and Rennes, and won by the men of Régis Le Bris (2-1). Later in the afternoon, other Ligue 1 outsiders were out, starting with Lille.
The northern club, sixth at the start of their match against Brest, had the opportunity to come back to match their opponent of the day in the event of victory. But the start of the season for Eric Roy’s men encouraged the Mastiffs to be cautious. And LOSC accomplished its mission by winning by the smallest of margins (1-0). A goal from Yazici scored from the start was enough for the happiness of the northern club (1-0, 6th).
Still at the top of the table, Stade de Reims, fifth before this 9th day, traveled to Toulouse for an indecisive match. Will Still’s men had to settle for a parity score in a two-part encounter. The Champenois thought they had done the most difficult thing by opening the score through Richardson after returning from the locker room (0-1, 48th), but Téfécé revolted immediately to resurface with an equalizer from Dallinga (1-1, 51st ).
Nantes is finally launched
The other good operation of the day is mainly due to Nantes, who brought down Montpellier at the end of a meeting marked by numerous absences on each side (2-0). With a reshuffled eleven, the Canaries and the MHSC engaged in an interesting balance of power in which Pierre Aristouy’s team had the last word. Mollet, formerly of La Paillade, opened the scoring just before half-time (1-0, 44th), before Bamba made the break in the last half hour (2-0, 74th). Nantes climbs back to a very good 7th place.
