Nantes and Strasbourg unblock the counter

Find all the results of this Sunday afternoon’s matches, counting for the 2nd day of Ligue 1.

The weeks follow one another and are not alike, in the four corners of France. On this sunny summer Sunday, there were indeed some confirmations, but the good students of the curtain raiser also got their brushes tangled. After the great victory of

Lens

against Brest at the start of the afternoon (2-0), Stade Rennais, who had made a strong impression against Lyon (3-0), suffered their first defeat of the season on the Strasbourg pitch (1-3).

Rennes still in the running-in phase

A match well controlled by the Alsatian team, who broke the deadlock through Santos in the first half (1-0, 23rd), before finding the back of the net twice, thanks to Emegha after the break (2-0, 48th) then Wooh – an unfortunate own goal scorer at the end of the match (3-1, 87th own goal). Blas’s reduction in the score was not enough for Rennes (1-2, 57th).

Nantes revolts

Fifth, Strasbourg has 4 points in two days, like Nantes, who cut the momentum of another exciting team, Auxerre, by winning at La Beaujoire to end a terrible series of 10 defeats in their lair. A 2-0 victory at the end of a match that was undecided for a long time, and in which the Canaries were in numerical superiority for a good half hour. Simon had opened the scoring (1-0, 16th), then the young Guirassy killed the suspense at the end of injury time (2-0, 90th+6). Scorer on the counterattack, the Nantais were more realistic than the promoted team.

Nice collects its first point

Nice and Toulouse, for their part, remain in search of a first success. The Aiglons were held at the Allianz Riviera by Téfécé. Babicka (1-1, 73rd) equalized after Clauss opened the scoring – author of his first goal for his new club (1-0, 54th). Nice confirmed its timid start to the season.
