Four Ligue 1 matches on the program this Sunday in the middle of the afternoon. After the draw conceded by OM at the Vélodrome against Metz (0-0) earlier, AS Monaco presented themselves at the Auguste-Delaune stadium in Reims with the intention of getting back to the leading car. But Niko Kovac’s men will have to be content with a goalless draw. Defeated in Brest last Sunday, ASM continues a second match in a row without managing to score. In the standings, the Principality’s players remain stuck in 10th place (18 points).
In front with the same number of points, FC Nantes was held in check by Strasbourg after a prolific meeting marked by the expulsion of Strasbourg striker Ludovic Ajorque from the 51st minute of play. The two teams surrendered blows for blows. Habib Diallo responding to Kalifa Coulibaly’s opening scoring. Randal Kolo-Muani allowed the Canaries to lead again to the return of the locker room but Adrien Thomasson equalized despite the numerical inferiority. Both teams have the same number of points (18), like Angers and Monaco, but it is the Alasciens who occupy the 7th place thanks to a better goal difference.
Brest leaves the red zone
Stade Brestois is doing better. After his victory against Monaco on Matchday 12 and his draw brought back from Lille the week before, Michel Der Zakarian’s men once again performed well on the lawn in Lorient. Handicapped by the premature expulsion of Jérôme Hergault (28 ‘), the Lorientais, who had opened the scoring in the 5th minute by Adrien Grbic, cracked in the second half. Romain Faivre from the penalty spot then Steeve Mounié 10 minutes from the end of regulatory time gave the victory to the Brestois, who left their place of first relegation to Bordeaux.
Finally, the Greens received Clermont in a Geoffroy-Guichard behind closed doors and a particularly deleterious climate. The Stéphanois supporters gathered before the match to express their dismay, with a banner and songs in support. A reaction was therefore expected. But after 65 minutes, Claude Puel’s men were down 2-0 in this derby in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It was in the 78th minute that Arnaud Nordin sounded the revolt and the meeting turned into madness when Jean-Philippe Krasso then Saidou Sow offered three points to their team with two goals in added time. A decisive double passer and scorer, Arnaud Nordin greatly contributed to his team’s first success in the league this season.
