Bordeaux-Saint-Etienne 2-2

Despite a two-goal advantage, Bordeaux conceded a draw at home against Saint-Etienne (2-2) in this game of fear. The Girondins, 19th, remain four points behind ASSE, 18th, in the standings.

The Greens were able to revive about ten minutes from the break on a cross shot from Bouanga in the area (33rd), 2-1.

Lorient-Metz 1-0

Moffi (ex-Courtrai) and Lamkel Zé were aligned at kick-off.

One but finally refused for a foul by a Messin earlier in the action. Metz will monopolize the ball at the end of the match but Lorient will finally snatch the victory in additional time thanks to Ouattara (90th + 4). The Messins are heading towards the L2…

Monaco-Nice 1-0

Another great operation for Clément and Monaco. The Principality club won at home against Nice (1-0) and climbed to 4th place in the standings.

Thanks to a handball from Benitez, decisive a few minutes earlier ahead of Ben Yedder, Golovin opened the scoring for Monaco just before the break (45th + 2), 1-0.

The locals will have the opportunity to make the break but Ben Yedder will not be successful on a lob which will hit the post of Benitez.

Reims won at the very end of the match with a superb curling shot from Abdelhamid from outside the area (90th + 2), 2-1.

Troyes-Clermont 0-1
