Zapping Foot National Top 10: the most loyal players in Ligue 1
The twelfth day of Ligue 1 will end this Sunday evening with the long-awaited clash between Stade Rennais, which hosts Olympique Lyonnais. But a few hours before the start of this meeting between two contenders for European places, it is time to take stock of the 12th day of Ligue 1, with surprised teams, mixed results for some and big concerns for d ‘others.
Lens continues to impress, Paris rolls out, LOSC stalls
Having played on Friday night, RC Lens continues to impress. Beaten in Lyon last week (2-1), Franck Haise’s men got back to the fore by crushing Troyes with a clear score of 4 goals to 0. The Sang et Or are sure to be on the podium regardless of the results of Rennes or Lyon. The ingredients that have allowed the northerners to create the surprise since the start of the championship were present, namely, solidarity, carelessness and a good dose of talent, have undermined ESTAC.
On Saturday, Lille drew a goal everywhere against Angers. While one would have thought that LOSC would start a series of victories after their heroic success in C1 against Sevilla in the middle of the week (1-2), Gourvennec’s men fell back into their pitfalls conceding a goal from the SCO , by Ounahi, in the 83rd while Lille did the hardest by opening the scoring thanks to Tiago Djalo in the 27th. PSG also did the hard part by beating a valiant Bordeaux. Led by 3 goals to zero with a double from Neymar and a goal from Mbappé, the Girondins have the merit of having scored two goals by Elis (78th) and Niang (92nd). Bad operation in the standings for Petkovic’s men but an interesting state of mind.
First for ASSE, Monaco and Marseille do not advance, the derby for Brest, Nice beaten
For today’s matches at 3 p.m., Saint-Etienne is finally breathing. While we believed the Greens doomed, they had a very nice burst of pride as they came up from a deficit of 2 goals against Clermont to score three and repot the three points. ASSE were stunning with two goals in added time which gave them their first success of the season. Marseille for its part, feel the weight of the sequence of meetings and could not beat Metz (0-0) despite a numerical inferiority of Metz after the red card from Jemerson. The Genats may even have regrets since they were dangerous during the first period. Monaco is also experiencing a bit of slack.
Niko Kovac’s men with a goalless draw on the road to Reims (0-0). The Monegasques have not been successful for 3 games now. Slightly disturbing. Nantes and Strasbourg put on a nice show with a lively match that ended with a score of 2 everywhere. Randal Kolo Muani has found the net with the Canaries (48th). The other Nantes goal was scored by Kalifa Coulibaly (20th). Racing goals are the work of Habib Diallo (44th) and Adrien Thomasson (68th). Note the red card from Ludovic Ajorque in the 51st. Finally, the derby is for Brest. Traveling to Lorient, Der Zakarian’s men won the game with a score of 2 to 1. If Adrien Grbic opened the scoring early enough (5th) for Les Merlus, Team Pirates won thanks to Romain Faivre on the penalty spot (58th) and Steve Mounié (80th). Jérôme Hergault, Lorient side, was expelled in the 28th. The Brestois stadium has two consecutive victories after the one to face Monaco (2-0) last week.
Finally, Nice, yet at home, was surprised by a valiant team from Montpellier. Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men beat those of Christophe Galtier thanks to a single goal from Florent Mollet, registered in the 80th. An unexpected defeat for the Aiglons.
