TOPS
The precious success of Nîmes
The Crocos gave themselves a breath of fresh air in the fight for maintenance against Dijon, a direct opponent (2-0). For his second match of the season in Ligue 1, Nolan Roux scored with the help of Alfred Gomis. The Nîmes countered the late release of the Dijon goalkeeper to register a gag goal (44th), completing the opening of the score for Benrahou (4th). The Nîmes Olympique never shook and reassured itself by going back to 18th place, 3 points from 17th which is none other than ... Dijon.
Waris, winning bet
It only took two minutes against Toulouse at Waris to score his first goal in the Strasbourg jersey. The Ghanaian striker showed composure in order to adjust Kalinic closely (75th) and validate the coaching of Thierry Laurey, the interested party having replaced the Bellegarde environment (73rd). This goal from the former Nantais offers a 10th league success this season in Strasbourg, propelled to 9th place in the ranking.

FLOPS
Bordeaux tramples
The Girondins can feed regrets, they who would be 7th in Ligue 1 if they had won this Wednesday evening (1-1). Hwang had the opportunity to put Brest at a distance, and did not spoil the first with a beautiful uncrossed head (10th). Then he came up against Larsonneur (15th) before finding the post after half-time (50th). Above all, Bordeaux did not press where it could have hurt following the exclusion of Castelletto (68th). Brest ended up snatching the draw, pushing Benito to own goal (80th). The Girondins thus stagnate in the soft belly by ranking 12th.
Montpellier does not benefit
The Héraultais have long led the score against Metz, without being imperial at home (1-1). Savanier (13th) put his team into orbit, before Rulli rejected a penalty from Diallo (21st). This same Diallo again came up against Rulli, author of an exceptional reflex on a recovery of the head of the Messin. The MHSC, however, lacked promptness, Boulaya recovering the ball directly to equalize with a powerful strike in the skylight (79th). The Héraultais stagnate in 5th place 3 points from the top 4 and Lille, but with only 3 points ahead of Bordeaux, 12th, proof of the homogeneity in the classification.
Toulouse, it's becoming urgent
Nothing changes at TFC. At home, the Violets lined up a 13th championship match without a win and consolidated their status as a red lantern. Kalinic delayed the deadline as best he could, notably by intervening before Bellegarde (32nd). He also considered himself happy that Ajorque only found the post on a strike at the entrance to the surface (50th). But he finally lost to Waris (75th) to accumulate 8 points behind Nîmes, 18th, and 11 on Dijon, 17th.
