Olympique de Marseille has largely won against the Greens and consolidates its second place, Monaco and Nantes ensure, Montpellier falls back into its failings. Discover the summary of this Sunday afternoon in Ligue 1.
This is a particularly lively multiplex, in particular because of an enticing Sainté-OM, postponed to this Sunday due to the weather conditions on Saturday evening. After the draw between Nice and Rennes (1-1), the Phocaeans wanted to take advantage of it to take off in second place in this final sprint of Ligue 1. But while you could believe that the Ligue 1 teams had decided to let PSG quietly win the Championship… OM waited for the second period to wake up against the Greens. After a solid start to the game from ASSE, Bouanga was able to take advantage of a gross error by Kolasinac to strike and score thanks to the hesitant hands of Lopez (1-0, 9th).
While the Gabonese thought of achieving the double with the head, the VAR decided otherwise (42nd) and Payet could equalize from the penalty spot in stride, taking advantage of a fault by Mangala on Caleta-Car (1-1, 45th). After the break, Sainté did not hold and was clearly overtaken by OM. After another error from Mangala, Rongier knocked on the ground but lost his duel with Bernardoni. Behind, Kolodziejczak scored an incomprehensible volley against his camp … (2-1, 60th).
Monaco confirms, Montpellier plunges back …
And following a new penalty, Dieng allowed OM to take off (3-1, 69th), before a conclusion from Harit following a good collective action (4-1, 73rd) . The reduction in Douath’s score did not change anything (4-2, 86th). A good success allowing OM to win and keep their second place, before the reception of the MHSC on the 31st day. On the other hand, Sainté returns to the red zone before a trip to Lorient.
Also in the race for European places, Monaco took time to make a difference on the lawn of Metz. It was not until the second half and a recovery from Ben Yedder, already a scorer with the Blues this week against South Africa (5-0), to allow the Monegasques to take the lead a few seconds after returning from the locker room ( 1-0, 46th). Despite the equalization of Amadou (1-1, 63rd), Boadu ensured the success of ASM at the end of the match (2-1, 73rd), which climbed to 6th place before receiving Troyes. Metz still can’t do it and will surely play for its survival in Bordeaux next week.
In the other matches of the day, Montpellier (11th) fell against Brest (12th), who regained success thanks to goals from Satriano and Honorat (2-0, 69th and 79th), before the reduction of the score on penalty of Savanier (2-1, 90th + 3). And at the end of a crazy match, Nantes (8th) won thanks to goals from Blas, Chirivella and Kolo Muani on the lawn of Clermont, which sinks into the bottom of the table, with a point lead on ASSE. Finally, Troyes conceded a sad draw against Reims but took a precious point in the race to maintain, seven days before the end of the Championship.
