SCO Angers dominated rising rival Grenoble 1-0 at home on Tuesday evening and took the lead in Ligue 2 thanks to Laval’s defeat at Ajaccio on matchday 17.
The Laval residents lost their leadership position for the first time since the 6th day, after recording their fourth defeat of the season on the Ajaccio pitch (2-0).
The Corsicans, still undefeated at home, won thanks to a fantastic goal from Touzghar (59th) and a penalty from Nouri (90th+5) and moved up to sixth place. Like them, the Angevins maintained their invincibility at home against Grenoble, fourth before this day.
The SCO climbed to the top of the ranking by showing realism, despite great opportunities for the Isérois. Former Stéphanois Loïs Diony made the difference by showing his power in the Grenoblois area (34th). With 34 points on the clock, the Angevins are now one step ahead of the Tangos and two ahead of Auxerre, third.
Saint-Etienne is still stalling, Bastia is a hit
AJA bounced back well after its success against QRM on Saturday (3-2) by winning against Concarneau 2-1, while the break was already made at half-time.
On the other hand, Saint-Étienne still cannot do it and records a fifth loss in a row. The Greens are falling further in the standings and are now eighth. Moueffek had opened the scoring in the 21st but Sidibé (43rd), Guillaume (54th) then Courtet at the end of the match allowed En Avant to win and be in ambush in sixth place.
Pau, the other surprise at the start of the season with Laval, continues its good run and even climbs to fourth place, thanks to its courageous success against Valenciennes (3-1) and the defeat of GF38. Paris FC, for its part, confirms its new dynamic by beating Rodez 2-0, thanks in particular to a goal scored from the halfway line by Pierre-Yves Hamel. Troyes is also doing better, and has a second victory in a row since the departure of its Australian coach Patrick Kisnorbo. Estac dominated Amiens 2-0.
On the other hand, the Girondins continue their catastrophic first part of the season, with an eighth setback. Beaten 3-2 at Quevilly-Rouen, the club owned by Gerard Lopez, self-proclaimed candidate for a return to Ligue 1, is now relegated. The highlight of the evening was achieved by Bastia, 5-0 winner in Dunkirk. The 17th day will end on Wednesday with the trip from Caen to Annecy (7 p.m.).
