Before the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon on Sunday evening, update on the first part of the 24e day of Ligue 1, disputed on Saturday.
🔚 16 goals in 5 games! Another completely crazy multiplex with turnarounds, golazos came … https://t.co/OwyiQYJOJO
Marseille 1 – 0 Toulouse
Fortunately, there is Payet in the life of the supporters of Olympique de Marseille, not spoiled by the spectacle offered at the Stade VĂ©lodrome. A wounded and instinctive strike from the Reunion striker (51st minute) ends his run in the skylight of Baptiste Reynet, Toulouse goalkeeper who came in for the injured rookie Lovre Kalinic. "We needed a moment of magic and Payet did it", comments Villas-Boas. The Toulousans could have opened the scoring in the 22nd second of play; but the script for the TFC matches seems to be written before kick-off this season. Fourteen losses in 15 games: that too is almost magical.
Rennes 0 – 0 Brest
President Olivier LĂ©tang was not in the stands and the attackers were not on the ground at Roazhon Park. Problem: only one was fired. Despite 17 shots, Stade Rennais did not find fault with the talented Gautier Larsonneur, even if LĂ©a-Siliki found the bar. Marseille are now eight points ahead of second place.
Amiens 1 – 2 Monaco
The club, which plays casino rather than football, hits the jackpot on two late-game goals, thanks to the return of Islam Slimani – whom everyone is still wondering why he left this team this winter. The Algerian extends the lead for Wissam Ben Yedder's superb volley in the 85th minute (16th goal by the top scorer in Ligue 1), and takes care of the second goal by a header from a corner.
On the bench, Luka Elsner hides to cry. Within ten minutes, it was Robert Moreno. Football … Amiens, 19th, is three points from NĂ®mes, barrage. Monaco, 10th at kickoff, was bombed in fifth place.
Metz 1 – 2 Bordeaux
Same game of hat as in Monaco, same luck in the draw: Bordeaux wins in Metz after being led from the second minute of play. Paolo Sousa can thank Vincent Pajot, expelled from Lorraine for a tackle from behind six minutes later . In the second period, the Bordelais finally took advantage of the numerical advantage by Toma Basic and the rookie RĂ©my Oudin (84th minute). Here they are sixth in this Ligue 1 without benchmark.
Dijon 3 – 3 Nantes
Six goals between two of the worst attacks in Ligue 1: it is for its irrationality that we like this championship. And also for the stainless Julio Tavares, for the two goals in the 90th and 92nd minutes, and for the discovery of Stephy Mavdidi, a 21 year old Englishman who in Burgundy shows a sense of purpose as an old fox. Too bad for Nantes, which is not really going any further.
Nice 1 – 3 NĂ®mes
No one stops the Nîmes, who win their third victory in a row and gradually close the gap with Dijon and Metz. Yassine Benrahou's delicious left foot, taken from the Bordeaux quagmire in January, is not for nothing: the goals of Landre and Philippoteaux come from his set pieces. For Nice, it smells of the end of the season in the soft belly, far from the ambitions of Ineos.
