Le Havre 0-1 Nimes

But: Benrahou (45^and+1, SP)

So near, so far. With the defeat of Sochaux, Le Havre sees itself coming back to three small points from a play-off place. Mission failed against Crocos who bite on a penalty obtained by Eliasson and transformed by Benrahou, just before the break. Previously, the Hacmen nevertheless dominate the debates overall, but without being able to open the score. From the start of the second period, it even takes a great flight from Bratveit to preserve its clean sheets. The last rampart of Nîmes, excellent throughout the game, also repels a magnificent free kick from Cornette under his bar in the last moments before a crossbar hit by the head of Bonnet.

Guingamp 1-1 Quevilly-Rouen

Goals: Redhead (8^and) for the EAG // Soumaré (28^and) for QRM

Two buts, and then nothing. That’s about how to sum up a meeting that only needed a few minutes to get carried away, before seeing the pace drop. Yet it was Baptiste Roux who opened the score for the Bretons, with a winning header at the near post from a corner. Unhappy, the defender of the EAG then offers the equalizer to the Normans after a ball which bounces on his heel, sacaly to put Soumaré in orbit for a beautiful rolled up. Guingamp can try to push in the second half, nothing more will be scored in this match at the desired end QRM find themselves in a play-off position.

Dunkirk 1-0 Pau

But: Tchokounté (31^and)

It is not good to move in the North, where Dunkirk masters its subject at the moment. To the point of leaving the red zone, thanks to this success against Pau. Dominating, the Northerners are not far from finding the fault on a ball for Niane alone in front of the goal, but Bajic preserves his cages. It was finally Tchokounté who delivered his own with a header, on a very good cross offered by Gomis at the end of the first period. Better in the game, Dunkirk misses the opportunity to double the bet by Yohou, who stumbles again on Bajic. Romain Armand finds him Vachoux on his way, after a good pass in the interval of Lobry.

Paris FC 2-0 Niort

But: Name (45^and+3) and Kante (66^and)

The beautiful operation of the day. A few hours after the defeats of Ajaccio and Sochaux (against Bastia and Auxerre), Paris FC consolidated their second place against Niort. Landed this winter in the Paris region, Boutaïb is very close to scoring again, but finds the post by turning around. Opposite, the Chamois do not allow themselves to be counted and create several situations, but without success. And are punished for a foul by Yongwa Ngameni on the Ile-de-France striker in the area. Naming the penalty transform, in two stages, to put his people in front of the break. Returning from the locker room, Cassubie misses the opportunity to bring the visitors back. Clinics, the men of Thierry Laurey double the bet thanks to Ousmane Kanté on a defensive error.

Caen 4-1 Toulouse

But: Mendy (18^and), Yard (31^and), Oniangue (52^and) and Da Costa (71^and) for Malherbe // Ratão (49^and) for TFC

Malherbe to the recipe. First team to bring down the Toulouse leader in the fall, Caen handed it over to d’Ornano. Dupé must intervene from the start in front of Mendy alone in the area, before the now top scorer in the championship concretizes the domination of his people on a very good service from Da Costa. The Violets are not there and see Court smash their crossbar, before Da Costa strikes above. And if Riou intervenes perfectly in front of N’Goumou, it is Caen who makes the break thanks to this same Court, left far too free on a cross delivered by Abdi. Upon returning from the locker room, Ratão brought the visitors back a little with a superb curl, but this match was that of Caen, who regained their ease thanks to a header from Oniangué from a free kick. Da Costa also invites himself to the party, after a number to play Nicolaisen. Toulouse sees Paris come back to two small points.

Amiens 1-0 Nancy

But: Akolo (82^and)

A meeting caused by a quarter of an hour, after the demonstrations of Nancy supporters during the warm-up. Nothing is going well for ASNL, which has remained completely silent in Picardy despite an interesting situation for Thiam. In the second half, Dossevi hit the crossbar while Amiens showed – a little – more quality in the game. Nancy then sank on a late achievement from Akolo, scorer with a flat foot in the side netting after s be engulfed on the left of the surface. The waterline is now ten points away for the Meurthe-et-Moselle club, which loses despite a dangerous last free kick from Bobichon.

Valencia 0-0 Dijon

Expulsion: Coulibaly (61^and) for the DFCO

Not much to eat in the North. Despite some timid offensives on both sides, notably by Le Bihan or Robail, the two teams separated on a goalless draw. The expulsion of Coulibaly for a fault in the position of last defender on Bonnet does not change anything: one point each, no one is more advanced.

Grenoble 0-0 Rodez

Fear is rarely a good ally when playing football. In a game between two teams battling not to be relegated, the show didn’t really want to show up. The 90 minutes are, overall, dominated by Ruthenians struggling to get real chances. The main one is the work of Célestine, who finds the post after a corner, not allowing the Aveyronnais to leave with a victory which would have done the greatest good. Grenoble is still at its worst, in the penultimate position.
