This poster between the leader and the red lantern looked like an easy victory. However, Paris FC suffered until the end to dispose of Pau (1-0). After a goal denied for offside (71st), salvation came from Saïd Arab (79th). Entered after the break, the former Red Star took advantage of a superb work by Gaëtan Laura on the left side. A victory all the same deserved (65% possession, 10 shots to 4) which gives René Girard’s men two points ahead of Ligue 2 (16 points).

In the shock of the top of the table, Niort carried out the beautiful operation of the evening. Impressive against Caen (3-0), the Chamois took advantage of the misstep of Sochaux in Valenciennes (0-0) and Grenoble in Amiens (1-0) to become dolphins. Ibnou Ba, Yacine Bourhane and Valentin Jacob scored, and Pascal Dupraz’s charges did not exist. Caen has conceded more goals this Saturday than since the start of the season (1). Niort follows the PFC (14 points), and Sochaux (13 points) completes the podium.

Miraculous Toulouse
Winner in Rodez (0-1) on a penalty from Yoann Touzghar in added time (90th + 2), Troyes can be happy to accumulate the same number of points as FCSM. Ugo Bonnet indeed missed a penalty (43rd). If Le Havre stalled after leading against Châteauroux (1-1), Amiens brought down Grenoble (1-0). A lucky goal from Stephen Odey deprived the Isérois of a place in the top 5. Thanks to their victory against Dunkirk (2-1), Nancy is replaced (13th).

The evening feat comes to us from Corsica, but is not the work of AC Ajaccio. Reduced to ten from the 8th minute and the red card from Janis Antiste, Toulouse FC resisted, before surprising the men of Olivier Pantaloni on a penalty from Stijn Spierings (0-1, 87th). The Aceists, themselves reduced to ten after the expulsion of Gédéon Kalulu (90th + 2), get stuck in 19th place (4 points).
