The noose tightens to all altitudes, in the great marathon of the
Ligue 1. After the good operation of Marseille and the frustrating match between Strasbourg and Monaco, and before the hottest derby in France between Saint-Etienne and Lyon, other candidates for the race for Europe were on stage this Sunday afternoon, starting with Lille, who welcomed a team of Auxerre well wedged in the soft and already saved belly.
The gang in Genesio has negotiated this important match well by collecting precious success (3-1). A victory that bears Jonathan David's brand. The Canadian international almost took care of everything … It was he who shifted Meunier after a good work of fixing on the opening of the score (1-0, 9th). And it was he, above all, who was responsible for sheltering by signing a double for the station wagon at the end of each half (2-0, 43rd; 3-1, 90th). Meanwhile, AJA, which has not deserved with a decimated workforce, had well hoped on a CSC of Alexsandro pushed to the fault by Sinayoko, but that was not enough. Lille goes back to the foot of the podium while waiting for the derby.
The Dogues keep two points ahead of Nice, which has not abdicated. The Aiglons had the wings cut in recent weeks, but they have provided the essentials by taking three points against Angers this Sunday (2-1). Not everything was perfect. Franck Haise's team would have avoided a last stressful half hour. But she had done the most difficult by scoring two goals, by Rosario (1-0, 36th) and Abdi (2-0, 47th) before the reduction of the Belkhdim score for the SCO (2-1, 52nd). Sixth, Nice advances hidden. Angers and fifteenth and has not finished sweating.
Reims offers an air puff
Because in the other fierce struggle of this final sprint, the most suffocating will be that of the bottom, in these moving sands where the slightest slide can be fatal. Angers seemed close to the goal two months ago, when Reims no longer set foot in front of the other. The Champagne club takes it at the best time. The Rémois harvested a victory oh so salvating against Toulouse, who has nothing more to play (1-0). A goal from Siebatcheu It was enough for the happiness of Reims, which dates back to the thirteenth place just behind his evening opponent.
Finally, in this no man's land Teams that have nothing to win or lose, Brest-Lens may have the most beautiful afternoon proposal, with a nice blood and gold performance in Breton lands (3-1 victory). It all started well for the men of Eric Roy, who opened the scoring by Lees-Melou (1-0, 13th), but Lens revolted quickly by
Koyalipou (1-1, 17th), before taking off on a Peno transformed by El Aynaoui before half-time (1-2, 45th+7). The third Lensois goal, signed Saïd at the end of the match (1-3, 90th+), settled the addition. Eighth, Lens doubles his host of the day.
