The great soap opera of
League 1 took over this weekend, and it keeps all its promises. After the convincing victories of PSG and OM, other top teams entered the scene this Sunday. The day began at dessert time with a duel between Lille and Rennes. And unsurprisingly, it was the Mastiffs who emerged victorious with a short but precious success (1-0).
Lille continues
Despite the deadline of the Champions League, LOSC enforced its status by finding the opening at the end of the first period through its detonator Zhegrova (1-0, 45th), before managing this advantage during the second act. Lille consolidates its fourth place. First failure for Jorge Sampaoli in Rennes. The technician has his work cut out for him to straighten out a team stuck in 14th place.
Auxerre continues its good momentum
A little later, AJ Auxerre met another team in form, SCO Angers, for an interesting and indecisive promotion duel. Impressive at Abbé-Deschamps, the AJA overcame a very tough opponent away from home, in a hard-fought and committed meeting. And once again, it was Hamed Junior Traoré who liberated the Burgundian club. The Ivorian international placed a header into the opposite net to explode the Icaunaise enclosure in stoppage time (1-0, 90th + 3). The promoted Auxerre is now sixth. Despite a good performance, the SCO slipped to sixteenth place.
Incidents in Nantes
At the same time, Nantes and Le Havre were unable to complete their match after an incident that occurred at the end of the match. As the Norman club headed to a 2-0 victory, supporters entered the pitch and the referee interrupted the match. A crisis unit was organized.
The match finally resumed after a long stoppage and the score no longer changed. In the middle of a fall, Nantes slipped to a play-off position and was overtaken by its opponent of the day, who took a big breath of air and finally left the red zone.
