Angers-Bordeaux: 4-1
The Girondins will be officially relegated to L2 if Saint-Etienne wins in Nice on Wednesday evening. And if it’s not Wednesday, it will probably only be a matter of days, as the end of the story seems inevitable.

In the obligation to impose themselves in Angers, this Sunday, to maintain the illusion of a maintenance that they did nothing to obtain, the players of David Guion delivered a copy conforming to what they show since the start of the season: an individual error – that of Costil from the 5th minute – to facilitate the opponent’s task and allow Mohamed-Ali Cho to open the scoring; too much defensive passivity to give Batista Mendy plenty of time to double the lead (36th); and a third goal conceded against (Bahoken, 62nd) while Sékou Mara, having just entered the game (58th), had just given a semblance of hope (60th).

For the seventh time in ten matches, Bordeaux lost without ever having given the feeling of fighting for its survival. There were a few hot situations to reduce the score to 3-1 (64th, 80th), but the addition could also have been even more salty if Costil had not made a double save in front of Fulgini and Bentaleb (81st) . And Pereira Lage logically sanctioned the defensive errors of the Girondins at the end of the match (90th).

Resigned and probably dismayed by the turn of events, the 400 Bordeaux supporters had deserted the Raymond-Kopa stadium as soon as it resumed. In the best case, Bordeaux, dead last in L1, can now only claim 18th place, synonymous with a dam. It is far…

Clermont took advantage of the reception from Montpellier to breathe some fresh air. The Auvergne club relied on two achievements from Elbasan Rashani (4th) and Mohamed Bayo (69th, sp) to take, at least temporarily, its distances with Saint-Etienne: two days from the end, it now has five points ahead of the Greens with the certainty of avoiding direct relegation whatever happens.

Marked by two incredible misses on each side – that of Bayo (25th) and that of Mavididi (36th), yet alone against the empty goal – this meeting also saw Joris Chotard score a wonderful goal after a series of sombrero shots – cross recovery law. Insufficient, however, to avoid the MHSC, 13th, a seventh game in a row without success.
– –
Lens remains in ambush, seventh, two lengths behind Strasbourg (5th) and Nice (6th), which has one game less. Badly embarked after the opener against the run of play by Arber Zeneli (28th), the Sang et Or reacted just before the hour mark through Florian Sotoca (55th) before making the difference in any end of the match thanks to the eighth goal this season from Seko Fofana (90th + 2).
– –
This sixth game in a row without defeat (four wins, two draws) allows them to still cherish the hope of European qualification at the end of the season (two points behind the Top 5).
