Unexpectedly, Lorient, a regular at the bottom of Ligue 1, confirmed their status as revelations of the current season and with another victory, the sixth in a row, against Brest (1-2), they moved to the second place, just one point behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Regis Le Bris’ team is the most reliable in the upper part of the French league this tenth day. The champion did not win on Saturday in his visit to Reims (0-0), as well as Marseille, which conceded its first defeat, against Ajaccio (1-2).
Lorient took over the Francis Le Blé stadium, where they won their sixth game in a row. It overtook the Marseille team in the table. They were just ahead of Paris Saint-Germain after Nigerian Teremas Moffi scored a brace that came off the back of the home side’s initial goal, signed after quarter of an hour by Romain del Castillo.
Clermont, on a roll, looked to Europe
Also on a roll, one step away from the European zone, was Clermont who knocked out Auxerre at the Gabriel Montpied stadium (2-1). Within three minutes, Tunisian Eddine Saif Khaoui, in the 55th minute, and Grejohn Kyei, in the 58th minute, forged the second consecutive victory for Pascal Gastien’s team.
In extra time, Brazilian Jubal closed the gap for the visitors, on the brink of relegation.
Nice is reunited with success
Three days later, Nice again met with victory. They won 3-2 at the Allianz Riviera against Troyes, coming close to a draw. And the team of Lucien Favre, in a good first half, achieved the profit of three goals. Mattia Viti, in 2nd, Andy Delort, in 37th and Nicolas Pépé, in 50th, led the victory for the Nice team.
Then everything changed and the local team asked for time. Xavier Chavalerin, in the 83rd and Abdu Conte, in the 90th, reduced the score but Troyes ran out of time.
Strasbourg’s first win
Strasbourg got the first victory of the season and left in last place. It was as a guest, at the Raymond Kopa Stadium (2-3), against Angers, who fell into the relegation zone where Julien Stephan’s team came out, replaced by Jean Marc Kuentz this time for testing positive for Covid 19 .
Strasbourg always comes first. He scored in the 7th minute although Adrien Hunou made it four later. And after half an hour, with an own goal by Miha Blazic, he was in the lead again. It was through Senegalese Habibou Diallo’s goal, in the 58th minute, that he saw the three points closer, although Blazic made up for his previous error and shortened the distances again in the 88th minute.
Angers failed to draw and Strasbourg managed to win a game for the first time this season.
