Lorient 1-2 Brest
Reims 0-0 Monaco
Nantes 2-2 Strasbourg
The Greens come back from hell (3-2)
This Ligue 1 season has not finished surprising us. Disappointing in the game and led 2-0 by Clermont, Saint-Étienne dug deep into his being to find the courage to return to the game. Arnaud Nordin, who had just shot the bar, took advantage of an error by Iglesias in the box (78th). He then applied on a corner to find the head of Jean-Philippe Krasso (90th + 2) then that of Saïdou Sow (90th + 4). If the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium was not behind closed doors, it would have imploded. First Stéphanoise victory of the season which perhaps saves Claude Puel’s post. ASSE is no longer a red lantern with now one point ahead of Metz.

Brest goes on in the derby (1-2)
And one more that makes six. Lorient has not won since September 22 against Nice (1-0), and yet thought to end this series at the Moustoir stadium. Adrian Grbic took advantage of a hard work from Terem Moffi to open the scoring (5th). Then Jérôme Hergault, guilty of an excess of commitment, left the Merlus at 10 after half an hour of play. Stade Brestois logically pushed. Romain Faivre equalized from the penalty spot (58th) before Steve Mounié deflected a winning shot from Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel (80th). After his first victory of the season against Monaco (2-0), Brest continues and remains 17th in the standings, four points behind Montpellier, 11th.
Monaco turns in circles (0-0)
Silent in Brest last week (2-0), then against PSV Eindhoven (0-0) and now in Reims (0-0). ASM stalled again this Sunday, unable to materialize its vague domination (58% possession). Niko Kovac has his work cut out for reviving a team still 10th in Ligue 1, which would have entered the top 5 in the event of victory for the Rémois. The latter, 16th, line up a fifth game without success and see the maintenance competitors getting closer.
Nantes misses against Strasbourg (2-2)
If they are cut out for the maintenance, Strasbourg (7th) and Nantes (9th) could prolong the happiness of playing the spoilsport in the event of victory this Sunday. It did not happen. Coulibaly opened the scoring at Beaujoire (20th) before Habib Diallo, with composure, showered the inclinations of Nantes (44th). The elusive Randal Kolo Muani relaunched the Canaries upon returning from the locker room (48th), then Ludovic Ajorque received, at 27, the first red card of his career. Dejected, Racing? Nay. Guilbert dropped a ball on the head of Thomasson, forgotten in the Nantes area, to knock out FC Nantes (68th). Kombouaré’s men can blame themselves for losing two points at home, in numerical superiority for nearly 40 minutes.
