Find the results of this Sunday afternoon’s matches, counting for the 22nd day of Ligue 1.

After the victories of Lyon (1-0) and Paris (2-0), several top teams entered the scene. The afternoon began with Lorient’s victory in Strasbourg (3-1). After a very delicate period, the Breton club confirms its revival to extricate itself from the red zone.

It was precisely a club from the west which carried out the best operation of the afternoon. After suffering the law of AC Milan in the Europa League (0-3), Stade Rennais revolted in Ligue 1 to continue its good series. Julien Stéphan’s men did not tremble against the red lantern, Clermont (3-1). A goal from Omari (30th) and a double from Terrier (58th, 65th) made Rennais happy, the visitors reducing the score by Matsima (62nd). Seventh, Rennes remains placed and hidden.

Monaco incorrigible

Conversely, Monaco, which had the opportunity to regain second place by taking advantage of Nice’s misstep, once again got its feet in the carpet by being surprised by Toulouse (1-2). The Principality club remains one of the most inconsistent teams in this championship. Sierra had resolved the situation before the break (41st). And if Akliouche allowed the Monegasques to equalize (48th), Téfécé made the difference at the end of the match through Costa (70th). Monaco remains fourth and could fall one place if Brest wins against OM.

Finally, Montpellier signed a oh-so-valuable victory against Metz this Saturday (3-0). In great difficulty in 2024, the Hérault club is giving itself some breathing room. Sylla (3rd), Sagnan (50th) and a penalty converted by Savanier (89th) allowed Michel Der Zakarian’s team to seal this authoritarian success against a drifting promotion. Montpellier climbs to 14th place. Metz is penultimate.
