In a balanced first period, the Sang et Or had the merit of opening the scoring, through Wahi (0-1, 11e), who unfortunately also distinguished himself by seeing red in a spat with Seidu, who was also expelled (45e+2). Thomasson after the break was responsible for making the break for the visitors after a huge blunder on Diaw’s restart (0-2, 50e). The last word went to Saïd after a nice number in the Auvergne area (0-3, 82e).

Europe within reach of crampons

Here are the outgoing French vice-champions clearly revived, sixth provisionally one length behind their rivals Lille, fourth expected in Lyon this Sunday. A great dynamic to be extended if possible on Wednesday in London against Arsenal – in a potentially decisive shock for qualification for the round of 16 of the C1. Clermont, on the other hand, is in a very poor position and could find itself bottom at the end of the weekend.
