Dijon overthrows Nîmes, Lens impresses and Rennes continues

Reims travels well

If the Rémois do not spend the holidays in the relegation zone, they owe it particularly to their recent trips. The victory in Gironde soil this Wednesday (3-1), improved the point of the draw collected at the Vélodrome last Saturday (1-1).

David Guion’s players quickly took the lead thanks to their captain Yunis Abdelhamid (15th). The opportunity for him to celebrate his 100th match in the top flight. In the process, Boulaye Dia was able to double the bet after a shot from Zeneli badly pushed back (18th).

In the second half, Hwang closed the gap (73rd) but Munetsi validated the Reims success in the last minutes (88th).

Lens, thank you Kalimuendo

And four since the start of the season for Arnaud Kalimuendo! The Parisian striker loaned to Lens was the great architect of the victory of the Sangs et Or against Brest by scoring a goal and causing a penalty. Symbol of the wide palette of the Parisian titi. On his goal, he is on the lookout and places a nice header on an extended cross.

For the penalty caused, he was able to make his speed and power speak so that Duverne imbalances him in the area. This omnipresence in attack has made the people of Lens happy for several months who will spend the holidays in the first part of the table.

Dijon overthrows Nîmes

It was Wednesday’s scare game. The penultimate received the red lantern of Ligue 1. And the meeting turned in two minutes in favor of Dijon to the detriment of Nîmes.

While the Crocs led in the score since the first act, Konaté came to put the two teams tied with a nice header (74th). A few seconds later, Miguel left his team to 10 by making a badly controlled tackle more than nasty (75th). Then Baldé came to put his training in front (76th). Konaté definitely broke Nîmes in the dying seconds. A crucial victory for David Linarès’ men who left 20th position to their evening opponent.

Rennes is coming back well

The truce falls badly for the Bretons. They won against Metz thanks to Clément Grenier and signed their fourth success in a row. A victory which allows them to erase the fall air gap and to be firmly established in the top 5.
