On Sunday, the remaining three matches of the French football championship "Ligue 1" 26th round were played. Once again, the capital's "P.S.G" club, which has been balancing on the edge of relegation for some time now, experienced another misfortune.
The pupils of Paul Le Guen, who had played successfully in the previous rounds, this time hosted "Saint-Etienne", who had been showing poor results lately despite fighting for European places. The result was a 0-2 victory for the visitors. The first goal of the match was scored by the young defender Damien Perquis in the 30th minute, and the last minute of the first half saw Brazilian Ilan doubling the lead.
After this setback, the Paris team remains in 17th place in the league table, ahead of the newcomer "Valenciennes" only because of a better goal difference.
Meanwhile, the last-placed team "Valenciennes" could have overtaken the Parisians on Sunday if they had won, but they failed to resist last year's vice-champions "Bordeaux" and lost 2-1. The home team "Bordeaux" took the lead 2-0 after goals from Fernando and Jussie Ferreyra in the first half, and in the second half, they successfully defended their advantage. Thomas Dossevi scored a consolation goal for the "Valenciennes" team at the end of the match.
On Sunday, the second-placed team "Lens" missed the opportunity to get closer to the leader "Lyon", who lost on Saturday. "Lens" faced "Nancy" and had to settle for a 2-2 draw. After these draws, "Lens" is 13 points behind the leader and is currently in third place, unexpectedly trailing behind "Toulouse" by four points.
