Not a virgin lawn!
Slowing down over the last two weeks, Laval has returned to the taste of victory in Annecy (1-3) on a muddy lawn and in apocalyptic weather. Bobichon stood out with a precise lob from 30 meters, while Roye redeemed himself from the penalty conceded with an uncrossed header. Author of a back pass that was anything but inspired for Escales, Mouanga left with the CSC gag of the evening. Extinct in Saint-Étienne, Angers for its part resumed its march forward against Valenciennes (2-0) at the end of two mix-ups in the first period: lively following a game of pinball in front of the northern goal, El Melali came to tackle the leather at the back of Louchet’s net, before Buatu deflected a cross intended to Diony. Thus, the SCO is following the Laval leader’s coattails. SOS defense in distress at the foot of the Alps, on the other hand, where Grenoble – formerly hermetic defense at the start of the year – was open to the four winds against Ajaccio (0-3) with a goal from Marchetti. GF38 sees ACA return to a point in the race for the promotion play-offs. With finally a dominated and controlled meeting, QRM emerged triumphant from the reception of Rodez (3-1) and is no longer the red lantern. Kalifa Coulibaly scored his first goal since his return to France.
Without offering anything, Amiens nevertheless robbed Dunkirk of Marcel-Tribut (0-1) and can thank Kakuta – opportunistic scorer – as well as Gurtner – in a state of grace, with 5 saves. The USLD does not take off from the penultimate rank, Amiens had been without a victory for 2 months and still hopes to hang on to the climb. Meanwhile, Caen continues to be depressed and officially goes to the wrong side of the Ligue 2 ranking: after a great start to the season, the teammates of Alexandre Mendy (top scorer in the championship with 9 points, and author of a judicious deviation for the equalizer) lost again in the hell of the Aube stadium in Troyes (1-2). ESTAC takes the opportunity to escape from the red zone, and Patrick Kisnorbo gains a short week of respite. Finally, Bastia sank Bordeaux to Furiani (3-1). Santelli scored a double, first by exploiting a poor recovery from the Girondins on the edge of the area with a low shot then by deflecting a free kick in the second half. The Bordelais finished the match better, in vain, apart from the reduction of the gap from a Livolant found by Pitu in front of the empty goal. Thunderbolt for Albert Riera and his men: the favorite at the start of the season is now relegated.
Note that Concarneau-Pau has been postponed due to storm Ciaran.
