If the defeat of PSG in Lorient (3-2) is of course the highlight of this 22nd day of L1, things also happened during the six games that took place this Sunday afternoon.
Overview.
The little winner: Lille
A fourth success in a row against Dijon (1-0) synonymous with a leader's chair with two points ahead of Lyon.
Lille wins small - third 1-0 victory in its last four games - but continues to collect points.
If Christophe Galtier's players have sometimes trembled against the 19th in the standings, the sixth goal in L1 this season of the Turkish Yusuf Yazici (29th) is enough for their happiness.
The perf ': Metz
With Brest, still a player, it is the assurance of having the right to unbridled encounters.
This is again what happened against Metz at the Francis-Le Blé stadium.
But if Olivier Dall'Oglio's players still put on the show, it turned against them.
Brest however led twice in the score.
But Frédéric Antonetti's team managed to equalize each time before snatching victory in the last minutes thanks to Ndiaga Yade (81st) and a penalty from Wagner (86th) who scored his first goal of the season (2- 4).
The two teams confirm their opposing dynamics.
This is the fourth defeat for Brest and the third consecutive victory for Metz.
The player: Charles Abi
Off the bench, the Saint-Etienne striker scored his third goal this season (0-1, 88th) to give his club a big breath of fresh air on the Nice pitch.
Claude Puel's players, who had so far won only one of their last 18 games, revived after their sinking in the derby against Lyon (0-5).
Saint-Etienne distances itself a little from the red zone while Nice signs an eighth game in a row without winning at home.
The phrase
“We played baballe, we give the stick to get beaten.
The defeat hurts the boys, we will have to get our heads out of the water quickly, ”says Jérôme Arpinon, coach of Nîmes, beaten in Angers (3-1) and still red lantern.
