Yet reduced to ten after the expulsion of Nayef Aguerd (58th), Rennes never seemed in danger because of the weak opposition of Merlus.

On fire this season, Benjamin Bourigeaud opened the scoring with a clear shot from the right foot (17th), before Martin Terrier worsened the score two minutes later (19th), by scoring his 21st goal of the season in the league.

Hamari Traoré (47th), Flavien Tait (79th) and Gaëtan Laborde (90+3) also took part in the celebration.

Thanks to this success, the Rennais regain 4th place in Monaco, who fell from Saint-Etienne on Saturday.

The shipwreck: Bordeaux sinks in Nantes

However, they were leading 2-0 at halftime.

But as too often this season, the Girondins de Bordeaux collapsed and conceded 5 (!) goals in the second period in Nantes, to finally lose 5-3 and see their last hopes of staying away more and more. .

"I feel bad, after leading 2-0 telling me that I lost 5-3 it's not pleasant explained the Girondins striker M'Baye Niang after the meeting at the microphone of Prime Video.

Now we're going to have to hold on and put our ass on the table if we want to save ourselves”.

The Girondins still point to four points from Saint-Etienne, roadblocker.

The player: Khephren Thuram delivers Nice

The celebration of Christophe Galtier and the players spoke for itself.

Stuck in a trap match against Troyes and imprecise in front of the cages (18 shots, three on target), the Niçois were delivered by their young midfielder in added time (90 + 4), who scored his fourth goal of the season.

This success is precious for the Aiglons who can still believe in Europe at the end of the season.

The ascent: Stunning Clermont

It's called having character.

Led 2-0 at half-time against Angers, the Clermontois snatched the draw ten minutes from the end of the match.

However, Clermont had started very badly.

The number: 13.

Good last in Ligue 1 with 24 points, Metz can still maintain itself mathematically.

But the task promises to be difficult since the Lorraine region have not had a victory in Ligue 1 for 13 games (five draws, 8 defeats. And this afternoon, they bowed on the lowest score against Brest ( 1-0) In legs, Youcef Belaïli scored the only goal of the match with a flat right foot (27th).

With this new setback, FC Metz is eight points behind Clermont, 17th.
