LAVAL MASTERS OF THE KREMLIN (8-2)
Étoile Lavalloise MFC has given itself wings in its Pégase room, bringing Kremlin-Bicêtre Futsal (8-2) back to earth. However, the leader’s margin was only one goal at half-time, Matthieu Hammad (4th) and Arthur Tchaptchet (16th) responding to the three Laval goals from Bilal Bakkali (1st), Soufiane El Mesrar (11th) and Souheil Mouhoudine (19th). Five others followed in the second half, works by El Mesrar for a quadruple (23rd, 32nd, 39th), Mouhoudine again (26th) and Abdessamad Mohammed (40th). This thirteenth success for the Mayennais in eighteen games and their thirteen point lead on the fifth to four days of the term ensure their presence in the final top 4.
🔥 Matthieu Hammad for the EQUALIZATION!

NANTES WINS KINGERSHEIM (2-4)
Nantes MF has long been held in check by FC Kingersheim, after having started well thanks to Renatinho (0-1, 5th) and Anatole Melaine (0-2, 9th). But Inza Koné (1-2, 14th) then Moussa Haddad (2-2, 15th) brought the Alsatians back up. A double from Ouassini Guirio in the same minute (2-3 then 2-4, 33rd) finally allowed Nantes to bring back a victory from their trip.
⚽🔥 Ouassini unleashes an overpowered strike on a badly returned ball and gives the advantage to @nmfFutsal in front of @KGSFutsal (3-2) !
The people of Nantes, put in difficulty in this second period, were able to hold on!#Futsal #D1Futsal

SC PARIS MASTERS TOULOUSE (4-3)
SC Paris had started off perfectly by widening a nice gap on a double from Bolinha (1-0, 6th; 2-0, 12th) and an achievement from Boulaye Ba (3-0, 23rd). Willy Oliveira stopped the bleeding for Toulouse (3-1, 27th) for a time before the Parisians took off again on one against his side Youness Ahssen (4-1, 31st). Michael De Sa Andrade’s double in one minute at the end of the match (4-2 and 4-3, 39th) was too late for the visitors to hope for better.

MOUVAUX LILLE TAMES BETHUNE (5-2)
FC Béthunois did not flinch to quickly open the scoring thanks to Nandinho (1-0, 3rd), before coming up against the realism of the second in the championship. Mouvaux Lille MF patiently put their game in order to concretize by David Gustavo (1-1, 14th), Sofian Medjahed (1-2, 26th) and Lazar Milosavljevic (1-3, 29th). Conrado Sampaio maintained the hope of the Pas-de-Calaisiens (2-3, 30th) but the Northerners had the last word by Gustavo for a double (2-4, 33rd) and Nemanja Momcilovic (2-5, 37th) .
