Monaco continues its good momentum
In 2021, all is well for the Principality club. A few days after its victory in Lorient (2-5), Monaco quietly dominated Angers (3-0), this Saturday during the 19th day of Ligue 1. A second success in a row largely due to Kevin Volland, involved in the three goals of his own. After an involuntary deviation on the opening scoring of Guillermo Maripan (40th), the German was at the conclusion of a cross from Caio Henrique (72nd) and then launched Stevan Jovetic on the last goal (81st). With this success, Monaco is now 4th (33 points), tied with Rennes, while Angers is 7th.

Nice can’t do it
At the end of a match between the 12th and 13th of Ligue 1 and despite an overall domination of the Aiglons, Metz and Nice parted in a draw (1-1). If Adrien Ursea’s players were first rewarded for their good start to the game by obtaining a penalty on a hand from Kouyaté (Gouiri, 18th, sp), Metz never gave up and continued to push. Frédéric Antonetti’s players managed to equalize in the last quarter of an hour thanks to an involuntary heel from John Boye (79th). Nice therefore remains on a series of four matches without success.

Bordeaux is reassured
The Girondins have once again returned to success at home. After more than a month without a win at Matmut Atlantique (1-0 against Brest on December 6), they beat another Breton club, Lorient, this Saturday (2-1).

Far from the tasteless performance against Metz in the middle of the week (0-0), Bordeaux was rather attractive but had some scares at the end of the game. In the absence of Hatem Ben Arfa hit in the thigh, Rémi Oudin donned the chasuble of providential player. The former player from Reims scored twice (13th, 43rd) and allows his team to finish the first leg in the first part (10th).

Opposite, the Hake were not unworthy but sinned for lack of realism. Terem Moffi had equalized in the first act by deceiving the vigilance of Benoit Costil in two stages (23rd). In the last minutes, Adrian Grbic believed to equalize but he saw his goal refused for an offside (87th). Christophe Pelissier had attempted an electroshock by aligning Matthieu Dreyer for the benefit of Paul Nardi. In vain.
