One day before the end of the Ligue 2 championship, this Saturday, May 26, the thirty-seventh day of the second level of French football delivered many crazy scenarios. Both for the rise in Ligue 1 and to save his skin, on each lawn of the stakes and the surprises.
Blow to the head of Ligue 2: Bordeaux was beaten in Annecy (1-0) and FC Metz, winner in Sochaux (1-0), took the opportunity to seize second place unlike goals behind Le Havre, hanging on to Bastia (1-1) during the 37th and penultimate day.
One day from the end, the HAC is ahead of Metz (2nd) and Bordeaux (3rd) by three points: everything will therefore be decided on the last day next Friday. Bordeaux, which carries out the very bad operation of the day, will receive the badly classified Rodez (16th) and Metz will welcome Bastia (4th). Le Havre, which has been leading the race since the 14th day, but remained on two worrying defeats in a row, will play the accession match on its ground against the relegated Dijon (18th).
The Messins make the good operation of the evening
In Annecy, the Haut-Savoyards scored in the 9th minute through Vincent Pajot, then the Girondins ran the entire game after the score, systematically colliding with goalkeeper Florian Escales, author of an exceptional match. Bordeaux had been second since the 24th day and undefeated for five matches (4 wins, 1 draw).
At the same time, Metz went to inflict a seventh defeat in a row on Sochaux with a goal from Cheikh Sabaly (49th). The Sochaux, in total perdition and diminished by many absences, finished at ten after the exclusion of Skelly Alvaro (61st), guilty of a violent tackle on Ablie Jallow.
In Bastia, Le Havre had a new scare, only equalizing in the 89th minute by Samuel Grandsir. But this point snatched late in Corsica will perhaps be worth gold next Friday. The Norman club should indeed find the elite after fourteen seasons in Ligue 2. The year of relegation, in 2009, the French champion in Ligue 1 was called Bordeaux…
Down below too everything remains to be played
The suspense also remains at the bottom of the table since six teams stand in three points. Only Nîmes (19th) and Niort (20th) are already condemned. The best operation of the day, however, is to the credit of Pau who temporarily extricated himself from the relegation zone by going to win 3-2 at Rodez (16th).
The Palois are now fifteenth but with a single point ahead of Rodez and Laval, 17th who won on his lawn against Nîmes, and two on Dijon, 18th and who concedes a 1-1 draw at home against Paris CF.
