Le Mans and Reims miss the mark

Manceaux and Rémois were unable to win on this 32nd day of Ligue 2. The battle for promotion is all the more uncertain.

Le Mans had the opportunity to take a three-point lead over Saint-Etienne this Saturday in the race for the second direct ticket to Ligue 1. A wasted effort. The Sarthois had to settle for a draw on the Grenoble pitch.

If Colas (39e) equalized well for the visitors after Benet opened the scoring from the penalty spot (35e), the Manceaux could not obtain better than a 1-1 sharing of points in Isère, with the Greens hosting the Trojan leader in the evening on their heels.

Disappointment also for Reims, which at home cracked against Nancy while Diarra had struck first (9e) and that Suljic (65e) had seen red on the Lorraine side. Fdaouch at the end of the match allowed the Chardon club to equalize.

With the key being a precious point in the fight for maintenance. The Rémois, for their part, have just regained fifth place in Rodez, synonymous with the play-offs, on goal difference.
