Toulouse champion, Dunkirk relegated
Deprived of the title in Rodez on Monday (1-0), the Toulousains, who needed a victory yesterday to win it definitively, believed that it was going to escape them again for 78 minutes, when receiving Nimes. Moment chosen by the Australian international Denis Genreau to allow the Haut-Garonne to overthrow the Gardois (2-1). But even without this goal, Téfécé would have strengthened the trophy because AC Ajaccio, second and who remained on a success, failed to win in Grenoble (1-1), already maintained.
A bad deal for the Corsicans, who are putting pressure on themselves for the last day with Auxerre’s second affiliation success, winner at Le Havre (1-2) and now one step away from direct accession. AJA’s place on the podium is in any case assured since Sochaux, undefeated for eight matches, including six by taking the three points, lost to Valenciennes (1-0). Thus losing its fourth position, now belonging to Paris FC, which won in Amiens (1-2) following two games without winning.
The Valenciennes do not only help the Parisians because they thus validate their maintenance, after six games without a win (four defeats). Which would not have been possible without the second battle lost in a row by Quevilly, beaten in Caen (2-0). With three points and seven goals behind the Raf, the Seinomarins, 17th, are practically condemned to the dam. Condemned to go down in National, Dunkirk, penultimate, is him, definitively because of his ninth consecutive match without success, including eight defeats, against Guingamp (1-3).
