It is a day filled with disillusionment. First for the SCO which leaves Ligue 1 on a new defeat against Rennes (4-2). Then for Monaco, which sees its dreams of the Champions League fly away after the slap received against Montpellier (0-4). But for Nice and Clermont, the day went rather well as they respectively won against Troyes (0-1) and Reims (1-0).
The poor performance: Angers officially in Ligue 2
There was no miracle. Stuck in a complicated season on and off the pitch, the SCO marked its descent into Ligue 2 by failing to win against Rennes (4-2) this afternoon. While leading in the score thanks to a penalty from Bentaleb (19th), the Angevins were then knocked down by conceding a goal from Gouiri (26th) and a CSC from Hountondji (34th). Niane’s equalizer before half-time (42nd) only delayed the deadline, before Doku showered their hopes twice (53rd). The SCO therefore finds Ligue 2 eight years after leaving it.
The beautiful image: the finalists of the Gambardella hailed in Clermont
Beaten in the final of the Coupe Gambardella by Monaco on Saturday (2-4), the young people of Clermont Foot were cheered on by the Gabriel-Montpied stadium, to salute their fine course. Before the kick-off of the match between the Auvergne club and Reims, the players trained by Sébastien Mazeyrat entered the lawn in front of supporters standing in the stands. And the party was total because they were able to see the victory of the big ones against the Rémois (1-0) thanks to a goal from Kyei this afternoon (4th).
The perf: Nice finally finds the taste of victory
They were no longer expecting him. After seven consecutive matches without a win in all competitions, the Aiglons finally returned to success against Troyes (0-1). Boudaoui scored a jewel with a powerful half-volley from the right at the start of the game (2nd), to give victory to his team. In the standings, Didier Digard’s men are ninth, 11 points behind Lille, fifth, and will not play in Europe next year.
The sentence: “We must prove that we deserve to play Europe”
Present at a press conference after the slap received by Monaco against Montpellier (0-4), Philippe Clément did not show defeat at the end of the club’s season: “There are still five games, and it’s up to us to bounce back and prove that we deserve to play in Europe. It is also important for the players for their future. Football is not an individual sport, but a collective one. And we lost sight of that notion during the game. We’ve been playing for the podium so far and it’s still possible if we turn heads. But we must act quickly. »
In the standings, the Monegasques are seven points behind Marseille and six behind Lens, who have one game less.
