Between the victory of Paris Saint-Germain against Nantes (3-1) Saturday at the end of the day and the shock of the 14th day of the championship this Sunday evening, six matches took place on the various lawns of Ligue 1. If the outcome has been favorable for some teams, others have lost valuable points as we approach mid-season.
The Greens stand up
After a catastrophic start to the season with no victory in twelve games, ASSE confirms its regain of form already observed during the previous day against Clermont-Ferrand (3-2 victory).
Moving on the lawn of Troyes, Claude Puel's players bring back three very important points in the race for maintenance thanks to a sumptuous volley from Miguel Trauco on the hour mark. In the standings, the Stéphanois are no more than a small point from the first non-relegation and will host the Parisians next Sunday.
Brest corrects Lens
This is the big surprise of this 14th day of the championship. Hitherto proud dolphins of PSG, the Lensois moved to the tip of Brittany in the early afternoon. Faced with Brestois well installed in the soft underbelly of Ligue 1, the trip turned out to be more perilous than expected. The visitors were quickly picked up by their hosts who opened the scoring in the third minute of play through Steve Mounié before Brendan Chardonnet doubled the bet ten minutes later. Romain Faivre increased the gap to three goals shortly after half an hour of play. In the second half, Jérémy Le Douaron scored the fourth and last goal of the game with a splendid strike from the left in the top corner. A few minutes later, Lens found itself at ten after the exclusion of Arnaud Kalimuendo.This bad operation is costing the Northerners who leave the podium dear.
Gouiri to the rescue of the people of Nice
If the Lensois come down from the podium, it is because of the victory of Rennes against Montpellier but also that of Nice on the lawn of the Clermontois.
A trip which again could look like a trap for the Nice people who were nevertheless very attractive since the arrival of Christophe Galtier on their bench this summer.
And the meeting began well and truly badly since it was the Auvergnats who opened the scoring thanks to a header from Florent Ogier.
In great difficulty to react, Nice waited the last quarter of an hour to reverse this badly embarked meeting and the hero has a name: Amine Gouiri.
In just five minutes, the young left winger offered a saving brace.
Two goals that allow his family to become the new dolphins of PSG, ten days before the match against the leader of the championship.
