Monaco and Montpellier go on, Angers is recovering… The summary of the day in Ligue 1
Monaco and Montpellier continue their rise in the Ligue 1 standings. Already winners in the middle of the week, the two southern teams confirmed this Sunday at home and their respective victories allow them to make nice obligations at. Nantes also offered an important success, while Angers went to win in Reims.
The Monegasque walk
After several consecutive draws, ASM has therefore regained its cruising speed. This Sunday, the main formation had no trouble getting rid of the Metz red lantern. The success was gleaned by four goals difference (4-0). Diop, Volland, Martins and Ben Yedder were the directors of the tape in Kovac. By importing it, it rises to 6e rank of the general table, only three points from the podium.
Montpellier, for its part, is not yet well placed, but the Pailladins should soon be involved in the race for the Euro if they continue on their current momentum. Opposed to the promoted Clermont, they won on the shortest of margins (1-0). And that is enough for their happiness. The only goalscorer for this match was Elye Wahi.
Not to miss
Nantes gets back to the place
Winner of Lyon last Wednesday, Reims had the ambition to confirm during the reception of Angers. But, the Champenois were weighed down by Valon Berisha, who left them at ten from the first period. With one less man, it was difficult to ensure a positive result. The SCO took the opportunity to get plenty of points (2-1). The Moroccan Sofiane Boufal was doubly decisive, with a goal and an assist.
Finally, Nantes emerged victorious from their short trip to Lorient (1-0). Wylan Cyprien delivered the Canaries seven minutes from time. Antoine Kombouaré’s team is enjoying its first victory in five matches. It also distances itself from the red zone, which Lorient is approaching dangerously.
Note that this day of Sunday began with a thunderous success of Rennes on the field of ASSE (5-0). The Reds and Blacks take advantage of this victory in 2nd place in the standings.
