Montpellier signed the good operation of the day by winning against Strasbourg after a crazy meeting (4-3). Here are all the results of this Sunday afternoon.
Often stored in the drawer of well-organized teams, Montpellier can also and above all rely on a remarkable offensive strike force on the scale of Ligue 1: a Delort-Laborde tandem as incisive as it is complementary, supported by two far-sighted creators, Mollet and Savanier. All these beautiful people stood out in a completely crazy meeting under the sun of Mosson, at tea time, against Strasbourg (4-3).
Fireworks at La Mosson
Because we say that it always takes two to have a good match, it should also be noted the very valiant performance of the Alsatians, who have never closed the floodgates. After the very rapid break of a decisive MHSC from the start with goals from Pedro Mendes (1-0, 8th) and Delort (2-0, 13th), Racing found the resources to resurface thanks to two penalties – transformed by Lala (2-1, 22nd) and Diallo (2-2, 22nd). In this first completely unbridled act, the pass of arms continued with an immediate reaction from Montpellier, Delort giving the advantage to La Paillade with a furious header (3-2, 32nd), but Ajorque equalized just before the break of a fox goal (3-3, 45th).
Are you still following? The second half was no less lively, although less prolific. And in this crazy race where the starting organizations were swept away by a wind of irrationality, it was Montpellier which had the last word thanks to a little gem by Gaëtan Laborde, author of a perfect recovery on a discount of his accomplice Andy Delort (4-3, 68th). Montpellier could have made the break and Strasbourg had its ammunition, but the score has not changed. A real good advertisement for Ligue 1. The MHSC climbed to 2nd place behind Paris Saint-Germain. So close to instant T, Strasbourg is in another world, stuck in the depths of the standings with a frustrating penultimate place.
Dijon does not take off
Lower still, Dijon remains blocked with a new compromising setback, this time against Racing Club de Lens (0-1). Compromising for the way, above all, even more than the gross result. Because after a good start to the game, the DFCO shot himself in the foot by offering a gift to Kalimuendo on a missed dribble from Racioppi (0-1, 23rd). The Dijonnais did not recover. Lens is also there for something, it must be said. Very consistent, the promoted had opportunities to seal this success, but the young Swiss goalkeeper from DFCO made up for it. Without follow-up. The Blood and Gold remain in ambush in 9th place in Ligue 1. Finally, still at the bottom of the table, Nîmes took a real breath of fresh air by winning a short header against Stade de Reims on its lawn (1-0). A penalty from Ripart at the hour mark was enough for the happiness of the Crocos against the Reims lacking ideas. Nîmes is replaced in 15th place. Reims plunges back to 17th.
