ASM in the right wagon
It took a superb inspiration from Aleksandr Golovin, scorer with a long shot (54th), for AS Monaco to crack Stade Brestois (1-0).
Before that, Marco Bizot multiplied the exploits, especially against Krépin Diatta (32nd, 36th, 45th + 3), when it was not the post that repelled the shot from Mohamed Camara (12th).
Despite a less mastered second act, ASM validated a second success since the resumption to temporarily join OM, 3rd, in the number of points.
Marseilles that Monaco will find on January 28, after a trip to Lorient and a reception from Ajaccio.
The appointment is already made.
Nantes gets some fresh air
The time is not yet for the prestigious duel against Juventus in the Europa League, but rather for maintenance.
Nantes ended a series of 5 games without a win in Ligue 1 with a success against recalcitrant Auxerrois.
In an open match, where the two crossbars shook, it was Marcus Coco who, well served by Ignatius Ganago, scored the only goal at La Beaujoire (74th, 1-0).
AJA, which is now one win in 13 games, still has to bite the brakes.
18th, she is 4 pts behind Nantes, 14th, who will receive Lyon in ten days.

FLOPS
Ajaccio comes back down to earth
3 matches without defeat and it was all Ajaccio who smiled, after a start to the season unfortunately worthy of a promotion.
And the Corsicans fell back into their trap at the reigning L2 champion, Toulouse, who nevertheless remained on 4 defeats in a row.
The ACA only shot once on goal, off target, justifying its status as the worst attack in L1 (15 goals in 17 matches).
16th, it remains out of the red zone thanks to the disappointments of Brest and Auxerre.
At the Violets, we take a six-point lead over the relegated and we savor the return of a shimmering game at the Stadium.
Angers, when it doesn't want...
The public at the Raymond Kopa stadium believed in it for a long time.
70 minutes to be exact, the time Angers will have spent leading to the score.
But in 10 minutes, an avoidable own goal from Abdallah Sima from a corner (79th) then a superb strike from Enzo Le Fée (88th) rekindled the Lorient flame (1-2).
Dramatic, especially since it was Sima who opened the scoring for the SCO, on … a corner (10th).
Regrets, the Black and White will be able to feed them, they who are now at 9 consecutive defeats.
With 7 pts behind Ajaccio, the first non-relegation player, maintaining is not a pipe dream.
But it will be difficult to reverse the negative spiral the next day: Angers will travel to PSG on Wednesday January 11.
