Very long during the match which opposed him on Saturday at Paris FC, Rodez found herself into unfortunate posture. With only three points ahead of the barragist square for the descent at the start of the game, the Rutten club knew that it had to give everything to grab one, or even three, facing its opponent of the day. The premises managed to courage (1-1, 32nd day of Ligue 2).

The task was all the more complicated since it was the visitors who opened the brand during a first period rather to their advantage. Despite a smaller number of strikes that Rodez in this first act, it was Paris who took the lead thanks to the goal of Vincent Marchetti (0-1, 36th).

But the debates were clearly rebalanced during the second period with the same percentage of possession (50%). And always twice as many shots on the Rutinian side. However, a single attempt will however be framed for the locals in the last forty-five minutes but it will be enough to equalize. The goal of Tawfik Bentayeb was like a release for the Paul-Lignon stadium (1-1, 78th).

Paris FC under threat

And at the final whistle, the joy was clearly for Rodez since this precious point torn against the PFC is practically synonymous with maintenance in Ligue 2. Two days before the end of the championship, Rodez is indeed six points ahead of Martigues (16th), but with a difference in goals simply impossible to fill for the Martégaux.

Rodez displays a +2 while Martigues is sealed by a -23. As for the Paris FC which would have almost seen the direct rise in case of success, it remains under the threat of FC Mets which plays this Saturday on the side of Pau and which is only four points behind on the dolphin of Lorient. The suspense remains whole.
