He is the undeniable hero of this 17th day of Ligue 1. Kamory Doumbia, Stade Brestois midfielder, scored four goals during the first period of the Breton derby against Lorient. The player on loan from Reims first scored the best goal of the evening, in the 22nd minute, with a sublime volley. The Malian, author of his first three goals in the space of seven minutes, had only scored five goals in the league since the start of his career. Brest won largely (4-0) and finished the year fourth.
Conversely, FC Lorient is very far from reaching these heights. The Merluts are in penultimate place in the ranking. The Bretons goalkeeper, Yvon Mvogo, showed his disappointment at half-time: “We are being eaten alive. Offensively, there is nothing. Defensively, there is nothing. »
Only Clermont has fewer points than Lorient, the fault of a goal conceded at the end of the match against Rennes, tenth, and a defeat at home (1-3). The entry of Désiré Doué was decisive for the Bretons. The 18-year-old midfielder first saw his shot repelled by Mory Diaw being well followed by Arnaud Kalimuendo (52nd). Then the Frenchman scored the winning goal in the 87th minute. Ludovic Blas increased the gap on a penalty in the 90th +7.
Relegated since the start of the season, Olympique Lyonnais is no longer in the red zone and has moved up to 15th place. Pierre Sage’s team won 1-0 at Groupama Stadium against Nantes, with a goal from Alexandre Lacazette (49th). The captain was pleased with this performance: “We will not end the year relegated. Many people had already buried us. » The striker converted an offering from Rayan Cherki. The 20-year-old played his 100th match in Ligue 1, the youngest to reach this mark since Eden Hazard at LOSC.
After four consecutive successes, the other Olympics stalled during its trip to Montpellier. Dominated and listless at the start of the game, Marseille conceded the opener in the 14th minute, with a goal from Khalil Fayad. But Gennaro Gattuso’s players regained their composure in the second half and Jordan Veretout equalized in the 52nd minute (1-1).
In the clash between Nice and Lens, the Aiglons won (2-0) thanks to a double in two minutes from Terem Moffi (76th, 78th). Never led at home this season, the Riviera team has done it again and retains its place as runner-up to PSG. For its part, Lens is seventh, with as many points as Reims.
Lille stalls, Monaco recovers
The Rémois got back on track with a 1-0 success at the Auguste-Delaune stadium against Le Havre, eleventh in the standings. Still as attractive as ever, the Marne team relied on the Japanese Keito Nakamura to win (25th). His trainer, Will Still, reunited with Le Havre coach Luka Esner, whose assistant he had been at Standard de Liège.
In the race for Europe, the bad operation resembles that of Lille. Still fifth, the Northerners lost 2 to 1 on the lawn of Strasbourg, ninth. The Dogues coach, Paulo Fonseca, wanted to see “the Lille of the match against Paris (1-1), and not that of the match against Clermont (0-0)”. Just before Christmas, his wish was not granted.
Finally, AS Monaco consolidated its place on the podium. The Principality club snatched a 2-1 success in Toulouse, a barrage, after conceding a goal from Frank Magri in the 5th minute. Wissam Ben Yedder gave his team victory thanks to a double (26th, 44th). The French striker scored the 250th goal of his career but did not celebrate, against Toulouse, his former club (2010-2016).
