For the Eastern teams, the dynamic was good this Sunday afternoon.
Especially for Reims, winner again in its stadium, ahead of Nantes 3-1, after eight months of famine.
For Metz also which recorded in Brest (2-1) its first success this season.
In the West, however, things are not going well for Brest, beaten in their stadium and still looking for a first victory.
Nor for Rennes, who brought back a draw from Bordeaux, while the three points stretched out their arms.
The mess: arch-domineering, Rennes lets Bordeaux return (1-1)
Bruno Génésio's team conceded in extremis a 1-1 draw in Bordeaux, while they had flown over the debates at Matmut Atlantique for an hour and a half, until Mexer's equalizing goal in the 89th minute, on a deflected axial strike in a forest of legs. Relying on his perfectly mastered 4-4-2, the Bretons multiplied the opportunities in the first period, sinning only in the finish or stumbling against Costil, the porter of the Girondins, best Bordeaux this Sunday. Rennes found the opening shortly before the hour mark, thanks to a recovery from close to Gaëtan Laborde, receiving a center behind Traoré from the right (0-1, 56th). The former Montpellier joined Gouiri (Nice) at the top of the scorers with five goals. “We have to be more killer in both areas, said Aguerd, the Rennes defender,legitimately frustrated, at the microphone of Prime Video. We had a lot of opportunities and we took a goal of m ... at the last minute ... "

Disenchantment: Reims beats Nantes 3-1 and finally wins in its stadium
Eight months that the Rémois had not won in their Auguste-Delaune stadium.
Oscar Garcia's players defeated the curse this Sunday afternoon and in a beautiful way.

Author of a double (2-1, 72nd, 3-1, 78th) after entering during the game, Ekitike, who has only ten games in the top flight, has already scored three times in Ligue 1. Nantes side , Simon had equalized following a daring slalom in the opponent's area, concluded with a clever shot at the post (1-1, 61st).
