Find the results of this Sunday’s matches, counting for the 24th day of Ligue 1.
While the afternoon began with the stunning success of Toulouse against Nice (2-1)other top-of-the-table teams appeared on the scene all over the country, starting with Stade Brestois.
Opposing Le Havre, Eric Roy’s team had an ideal opportunity to consolidate its place as runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain. And the Breton club did not disappoint, once again.
Brest is serious
Brest scored a short but oh-so-valuable success against promoted Le Havre (1-0). And it was once again the inevitable Pierre Lees-Melou who took on the role of hero by scoring the only goal of this match after half an hour of play (1-0, 34th).
A pawn which allows Brestois to take four points ahead of third, Monaco.
Metz shower Nantes
At the same time, the most astonishing result took place at La Beaujoire, where FC Metz, completely at a standstill since the start of the calendar year, found the resources to win against Nantes (2-0 ).
The Garnets made the difference in two minutes flat, after the break, thanks to a penalty from Mikautadze (0-1, 58th) and a break from Udol (0-2, 60th). Still penultimate, Metz regains hope and returns to 5 points behind its host of the day, who is sliding dangerously towards the depths of the ranking.
Montpellier and Strasbourg are not moving forward
An area in which Montpellier has been vegetating for a while. Worrying, Michel Der Zakarian’s team had to settle for a parity score against a direct competitor, Strasbourg, at the end of a match rich in goals (2-2).
Nordin scored twice for the Hérault club (71st, 87th). Two goals which allowed his team to respond to the Alsatians who had the race in the lead, following the achievements of Diarra (47th) and Emegha (83rd). Respectively fifteenth and twelfth, Montpellier and Strasbourg are not advancing.
