Monaco snatches, Strasbourg overthrows Montpellier, Metz surprises Reims

Little spectacle in the Ligue 1 multiplex of this 21st day, but several lessons with in particular Monaco which remains within shooting range of the podium.

Monaco hits Clermont, Strasbourg overthrows Montpellier

Dominating but not necessarily very inspired in the first half, Monaco finally made short work of Clermont, thanks in particular to the fine entry into play from Wissam Ben Yedder.

However, the Principality club thinks they will quickly benefit from a penalty for a foul on Sofiane Diop, canceled by the VAR.

The young attacking midfielder finally opened the scoring just before half-time, starting at the limit of offside on a deflection from Jean Lucas (1-0, 45th + 2).

Entering at half-time, Ben Yedder then offered himself a double: by cutting off a center from Caio Henrique first (2-0, 55th) then on a penalty that he had procured himself (3- 0.62nd). Two goals then an assist for WBY, for Caio Henrique, for his first goal with the Monegasques (4-0, 83rd).

In the race for Europe, Montpellier believed for a long time to also carry out the beautiful operation in Strasbourg, but it was not.

The Héraultais had however taken the lead by Florent Mollet (0-1, 14th), but the Alsatians then pushed for a long time to come back, Gameiro in particular finding the crossbar.

A meeting that switches to an extremely severe red inflicted on Wahi shortly after the hour mark, before Waris scored his first goal of the season to bring Strasbourg back (1-1, 77th). Strasbourg who completely overthrows his opponent of the day thanks to Thomasson (2-1, 84th) and Gameiro (3-1, 86th) to pass him in front of the standings.

Metz surprises Reims, Lorient stumbles on Angers

Still to the east, Reims has long sought the fault against a Metz team weakened by the many departures from the CAN.

But it was ultimately the Messins who managed to find the fault on a header from Niane, at the fall of a center from Delaine, very good in his lane (0-1, 63rd).

A victory that allows Frédéric Antonetti’s men to leave the relegation zone.

Finally, in the last meeting of the afternoon, Angers will certainly be satisfied with the point brought back from Lorient.

Reduced to ten from the quarter of an hour after a big sole from Doumbia on Mendes, the Scoists then held on against the worst attack in the championship. Despite a few situations, the Bretons therefore concede a draw and are play-offs.
