Freshly relegated from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2, Saint-Etienne and Montpellier aspire to resume the elevator at the end of the season. However, it was a draw that came to sanction their beginnings at the lower level this Saturday.
In Laval, the Greens were forced to a spectacular draw despite the achievements of Cardona, Boakye and Old-Tchokouné having notably signed a double for the Mayennais (3-3).
Same disappointment for an MHSC neutralized at the Mosson by the Red Star (1-1), Omeragic having even had to answer Durand in a match which saw Savannier entering at the end of the game.
Null matches also between Dunkirk and Clermont (2-2) and between Rodez and Nancy (0-0). Earlier in the day, Guingamp and Le Mans also shared the points after a spectacular match (3-3).
In fact, the first leader of the championship while waiting for the two games to play is none other than Pau, a fall this Saturday evening of Annecy (2-0). Troyes follows after his success on Grenoble (2-1).
