Ligue 1: Reims at home, Dijon and Strasbourg neutralize each other and Nantes at the gates of the red zone

On the occasion of the 21^e Ligue 1 day, three middle and final matches were played simultaneously at 3 p.m. Reims won by a short header at home against Stade Brestois (1-0), Dijon and Strasbourg parted in a draw (1-1) and Raymond Domenech’s Nantes continues its negative spiral in s’ inclining against the Messins at Saint-Symphorien.

This Saturday January 24 was synonymous with maintenance and survival in France on the occasion of the 21^e Ligue 1 day. At 3pm, six mid-bottom teams met with the same goal: to garner valuable points for the rest of the season. And it is mission accomplished for the Stade de Reims which showed authority at home by winning over the smallest of the margins against Brest (1-0) thanks to Nathanel Mbuku, the only scorer of the match at the 40^e minute. Thanks to this great victory, Reims escaped a little from the red zone by pointing at 14^e Ligue 1 place.

At the same time, the Garnets of Metz confirmed their very good momentum after the victory in Lyon by pushing even more Nantes still so uninspired (2-0). Aaron Iseka Leya allowed his team to lead 1-0 in the 36^e minute before Farid Boulaya does the break in all the last seconds in the 92^e minute. The Canaries led by Raymond Domenech fall to the 17^e Ligue 1 place three small points from the red zone. Metz continues its march forward and climbs to 8^e Ligue 1 place.

Finally, no winner between Dijon and Strasbourg for Gaston Gérard. Ludovic Ajorque gave his team the advantage in the 51^e minute but Coulibaly set the record straight at the 63^e.

A result that does not suit anyone. Dijon is found 18^e Ligue 1 with 15 points while Thierry Laurey’s men point to 15^e rang.
