Giovanni Haag saw red for the fourth time this season (75th) but Nancy wins by ten. The ASNL defensive midfielder almost cost his team points. In twelve days, he received his second direct red card – and two following two yellow cards – while his team had come back to score against Guingamp. Finally, this expulsion will not have had a negative consequence since the substitute striker Andrew Jung, who had performed in National last year, turns into a hero at the Marcel Picot stadium (87th) by scoring his first goal of the season.
The Chardons won at the end of a scenario with twists and turns their first success of the season (2-1) but remain in last place. If the ouster of coach Daniel Stendel seems to have created an electric shock, Benoît Pedretti is not guaranteed to stay in office since he does not yet have the necessary diplomas to train. The club has four weeks to appoint a qualified coach at the risk of being fined 12,500 euros per match in an irregular situation.
Match interrupted in Caen
The Normandy derby was also lively with four goals (2-2). The last, registered by Pape Ibnou Ba (HAC Foot), also resulted in an interruption following projectiles thrown at the Le Havre goalkeeper. The game was able to resume and end after more than eight minutes of added time. Le Havre is temporarily on the podium but lets slip Sochaux and Toulouse, author of a card earlier in the day against Auxerre (6-0). Held in check by Grenoble, the Sporting Club de Bastia, taken over by Régis Brouard after the ouster of Mathieu Chabert, fell to 18th place, place of barrage, and was only ahead of Amiens and Nancy.
