They had started on the hats of wheels but they ended up stalling. Le Téfécé (37 pts), who lost his mind on the 18th day after a misstep in his stadium against Rodez (1-1), must be content with second place despite goals from Rasmus Nicolaisen on a free kick (3rd), then the inevitable Rhys Healey (60th) and an away victory against Nîmes (2- 1), Tuesday December 21.

On the other hand, for Ajaccio, it is the first title of autumn champions in their history! Corsican, reduced by five cases of Covid-19 in their ranks, provided the essentials against the poorly classified Grenoble and finished the first leg of L2 at the top of the ranking, one point ahead of Toulouse.

Silent during the first 45 minutes, the ACA (38 pts) found the solution to the return of the locker room by Riad Nouri (49th), before switching to a management phase, even if tensions erupted at the end of the meeting between the players.

Paris FC finished third in this first leg

Just behind, Paris FC (36 pts) ended his first half of the season with a bang, with a sixth consecutive victory against Amiens (1-0). The Parisians at the same time snatched third place on the podium to Auxerre (4th, 33 pts), who lost (3-2) to Le Havre (6th, 32 pts).

The championship will resume on January 8

But the worst operation was performed by Sochaux (5th, 33 pts), who recorded a second straight draw in Ligue 2 against a half-table team and lost ground in the race to climb. After Bastia during the 18th day, the Lionceaux were held in check at Auguste-Bonal by a team of Valenciennes still long deprived of Lecoeuche, sent off in the 54th minute.

The championship will resume January 8 with the 20th day and an opening match between Le Havre and Sochaux (3:00 p.m.).
