1. Rennes pig by Clermont! The Coupe de France victory against Bordeaux suggested that Rennes had overcome Terrier’s serious injury, but the absence of Rennes’ best player was felt on the lawn of Clermont, where the Rouge et Noir conceded a surprise defeat (1-2). Long uninspired in the game, the Rennais were trailed after half an hour on a goal from Kyei (31st). If Kalimuendo equalized in the second period (74th), the Breton club cracked, nine against eleven (after the expulsions of Bourigeaud and Omari), by conceding a goal from Gastien in stoppage time (90th +5). Worrying for Bruno Genesio’s players?
2. Lyon must still… The truce did not do Olympique Lyonnais any good. Ten days after its defeat against Clermont, the Rhone club has chained a second game without a win in the league by bringing a point from Nantes (0-0) at the end of an unexciting meeting. At this rate, OL will have a hard time hanging onto Europe at the end of the season… To read the Dbrief and the NOTES of the players, it’s here!
3. Lille too messy. Clearly dominating in possession, Lille lacked genius to win Brest (0-0). Lille only managed four shots in a rather lackluster match against a Brest team which ended a series of two defeats in the league. The team now coached by Eric Roy continues to reassure itself after a success in the Coupe de France against Avranches (2-0). On the other hand, even if they remain on five matches without defeat in L1, the Mastiffs confirm their blow of less well on the offensive level.
4. Toulouse sinks Auxerre. Back to a better level for two games, Toulouse confirmed its good form by clearly dominating Auxerre (5-0). A goal scored very early by Chabi (6th) allowed the TFC to start the match perfectly before widening the gap thanks to Rouault (33rd) and Van den Boomen (40th). In the second period, Aboukhlal (75th) and Dallinga (88th) topped the bill. The Violets are doing better and are back in the middle of the table. 18th in the standings, the Auxerrois, on the other hand, remain in the red zone with this fourth defeat in a row in the championship…
5. Reims continues its good run. Winner on the lawn of AC Ajaccio (1-0), thanks to an achievement by Munetsi from the start (3rd), the Stade de Reims no longer loses. In Corsica, Les Rmois extended their unbeaten streak in the league to ten games! On the other hand, it is a second setback in a row in the league for the Ajacciens, who remain at the gates of the red zone in 16th place.
