The games of the next round in the French Ligue 1 were memorable with interesting results and dramatic moments. The main event of the day is "Rennes"'s big win over "Nice" on the road and entering the top five in the tournament table.
Idman.Biz reports that "Rennes" head coach Frank Heys did not spare his former club "Nice", which he left just two months ago. The guests celebrated their 4th consecutive victory by scoring four unanswered goals against their opponent.
Esteban Lepaul opened the scoring in the 13th minute of the match. Soon, Sebastian Szymanski (20th minute) doubled the difference, scoring his first goal of the season. In the final part of the game, Ludovic Blas (74) and young Nordan Mukiele (90+5) formalized the defeat. After this result, "Rennes" rose to the fifth step and reduced the difference in points with the Champions League zone to three. "Nice", on the other hand, has only won one victory in the last 15 games and is getting closer to the danger zone.
"Lille" - "Lorient" - 1:1
One of the most dramatic matches of the day took place in Lille. In the match where Olivier Giroud could not appear due to a last-minute injury, "Lille" missed the victory. Although the "dogs", who took the lead with Matias Fernandes-Pardo's goal in the 65th minute, were close to their third consecutive victory, Arthur Avom did not allow this. He scored a beautiful goal in the third minute added to the main time and gave "Lorient" one point. This loss of points was an unexpected blow for "Lille", which is preparing for the game with "Aston Villa" in the Europa League.
Currently, "Lille" is in the sixth place with 41 points, and "Lorient" is in the 10th place with 34 points.
"Brest" - "Havr"- 2:0
"Brest", which is considered one of the best teams in recent times, continues its successful series. The "Pirates" defeated "Havr" with two unanswered goals in their home arena, defeating their opponent for the third time in a row.
Romain Del Castillo opened the scoring at the end of the first half, taking advantage of the opponent's goalkeeper's mistake. In the 72nd minute, Ludovic Ajork scored his fifth goal in the last six matches, ensuring his team's 2-0 victory. Gaining their third consecutive victory and remaining undefeated in the last six games, "Brest" strengthened their ninth position in the tournament table. "Havr" is 14th with 26 points.
21:26
After the leader of the French Ligue 1, PSG, lost to "Monaco" on Friday, the situation in the tournament table has become tense. Taking the opportunity, "Lans" hosted "Metz" in their home arena and took the opportunity to get closer to the leader.
Idman.Biz reports that "Lans" players successfully coped with the task by defeating the opponent 3:0 in front of their fans. Thanks to this victory, the home team reached 56 points, reducing the difference in points with the leader PSG to one.
The team's goals were scored by Suud Abdulhamid in the 44th minute, Florian Thauvin in the 46th minute and Amadou Haidara in the 52nd minute.
The crisis continues for the guest team. "Metz" has not won a victory for the 13th consecutive game in Ligue 1. This unsuccessful series has further aggravated the team's position in the tournament table. The team is last with 13 points.
