Ligue 2 play-offs: Grenoble eliminates Paris FC and offers itself the right to dream

2021-05-21T10:01:01.557Z


The Isère club will meet Toulouse on Friday with the objective of facing the future 18th in Ligue 1.


Grenoble continues to believe in its chances of climbing to Ligue 1, after its victory (2-0) on Tuesday against Paris FC in the play-offs, which allows it to qualify for the pre-dam against Toulouse on Friday.

The Grenoblois, fourth in Ligue 2 at the end of the season, eliminated the Parisians, fifth, without trembling and taking advantage of the clumsiness of their opponents.

From the eighth minute, a free kick quickly played by the Grenoblois surprised the Parisians, not in place.

Served on the left, Yoric Ravet had plenty of time to center for Achille Anani, lonely in the area, who was able to adjust the goalkeeper in two stages.

The striker could even have offered himself a brace by taking advantage of a new inattention from the opposing defense, if Vincent Demarconnay had not released a high class save just before half-time.

Paris helpless

But Willy Semedo was responsible for killing the suspense five minutes from the end, taking advantage of the spaces left by the Parisians, who threw themselves headlong into the Grenoble camp to seek equalization. Faced with Grenoble, which has lost only one league match in its stadium, René Girard's men have never found the solution. Their first shot on target against the second best defense of the season came after the hour mark.

The Parisians however had the ball most of the meeting, but used it uninspired against a grouped block and quite low.

The Grenoblois have only three days of recovery before facing Toulouse, third in Ligue 2. The winner of this match at the Stadium will face in a round-trip confrontation on May 27 and 30 the 18th of Ligue 1, which will be determined at the end of the last day, Sunday.
