Ligue 1: what to remember from matchday 11

Waiting for the Classic between PSG and OM, Lyon were overthrown in Rennes for the first time by Laurent Blanc (3-2), while Nantes returned to victory against Brest (4-1) and Lorient lost l opportunity to take the lead in the standings against Reims (0-0). Here’s everything there is to remember from Matchday 11 of Ligue 1.

Strasbourg 0-3 Lille

Lille continues to rise. In Alsace, the northern club achieved their second consecutive success (0-3) for the first time this season thanks to a brace from Jonathan David (41^And76^And) and a goal from Rémy Cabella (80^And). With this win, Losc moved to the first part of the table. On the other hand, Strasbourg had a relapse. After their first win of the season, last week, on the Angers lawn (2-3), the Alsatian team recorded their fifth defeat of the season and remains stuck at the bottom of the table. And with this new setback, coach Julien Stephan finds himself increasingly threatened.

Lorient-Reims 0-0

Lorient missed the opportunity to sit on the throne. While waiting for the Classic between PSG and OM, Les Merlus had the opportunity to temporarily take the lead of the championship. Surprising this season, the pupils of Régis Le Bris, who remained to six consecutive victories, found no fault within the Reims defense. However, they evolved in numerical superiority for 45 minutes after the expulsion of Dion Lopy at the beginning of the second period (46^And) and even 11 against 9 after the red card received by Emmanuel Agbadou in recovery time (91^And). For his part, Reims, who separated from Oscar Garcia, signed a 3^And draw in a row and beat the water in the standings.

Lens 1-0 Montpellier

Lens recovered. A week after the defeat in Lille in the northern derby, the Sang et Or return to victory when Montpellier arrive at Bollaert (1-0), where they are invincible with a sixth win in as many home games. And the liberation came from Wesley Saïd, who took advantage of a badly adjusted back pass by Téji Savanier to deceive Jonas Omlin (67^And). If the Lensoise side have recovered, Montpellier continue their fall with their fifth defeat in their last six games.

Toulouse Angers 3-2

Toulouse has given itself some air. TFC signed their third straight match without defeat by beating Angers at the Stadium (3-2). Promoted Toulouse, who easily took the lead thanks to Brecht Dejaegere (10th), Branco Van der Boomen (40th^And) and Stijn Spirings (67^And), however, was frightened by the reduction in Amine Salama’s score at the end of the game (93^And), while Nabil Bentaleb had drawn the two teams (33^And). And if Toulouse breathes, the Angevin club still remains in a very uncomfortable position with this 3^And consecutive loss.

Auxerre-Nice 1-1

A tie that is not for anyone. Auxerre and Nice failed to decide between Abbé-Deschamps despite chances for both teams (1-1). On a fantastic work by Khéphren Thuram, Andy Delort took the Riviera club (20^And), but Nuno Da Costa equalized just before the interval (42^And). Auxerre, who have not won since the end of August, are still on the edge of the red zone, while Nizza are only 13 years old.^And in the ranking.

Nantes 4-1 Brest

A breath of fresh air for Nantes. At home, the Canaries overthrew Brest (4-1) to finish a five-game streak without a single league victory (4 defeats, one draw). But it all started badly for Antoine Kombouaré’s men with Ludovic Blas’ missed penalty (12^And) and the opening of the score of Brest by Noah Fadiga (18th). But the match changed in two minutes with Moses Simon’s draw from a penalty (35^And) and Ignatius Ganago’s goal in stride (36^And). Mostafa Mohamed allowed Nantes to take refuge in front of Moussa Sissoko (88^And) does not seal the success of Nantes coming out of the red zone. Brest, separated from Michel der Zakarian this week, remains in last place in the standings.

Rennes 3-2 Lyon

No victory for Laurent Blanc’s first on the Lyon bench. Seeking renewal, Lyon were toppled on the Rennes lawn (3-2) and recorded their fifth defeat in six games. Alexandre Lacazette opened the scoring (23^And) but Martin Terrier equalized the two teams before Amine Gouiri put the Breton club ahead (47th). And if the Lyon captain drew (72^And), Terrier offered victory to Rennes (78^And), which continues its ascent with its 6^And victory of the season. With this new poor performance, OL is now ten points behind on the podium.

Troyes 1-1 Ajaccio

A fight without a winner. Troyes and Ajaccio split in a disappointing draw at Aube (1-1). In a game without much pace, Estac surely thought he had done the hardest part with Jackson Porozo’s first counterattack goal with fifteen minutes to go (75^And). But Mounaïm El Idrissy drew for the Corsican club in the final minutes. In the ranking Troyes is ranked 12^And standings while Ajaccio remain relegated (18^And)

Monaco 1-1 Clermont

End of series for Monaco. The principality’s club, left with five straight league wins, has been linked to the Louis II stadium by Clermont (1-1). Wissam Ben Yedder’s teammates were weighed down shortly after the quarter of an hour after Mohamed Camara was sent off for a sole over Saif-Eddine Khaoui (16th). But they still managed to open the scoring on a penalty obtained and converted in two halves by Breel Embolo (30th). And if they resisted for a long time, the Monegasques cracked on a ball picked up on the spot by Komnen Andric at the beginning of the second half (52nd). Outnumbered, Philippe Clément’s men managed to save a point and remain in the top 6 on a tie with Rennes. For its part, Clermont is still in the first part of the standings with an honorable 8th place.
