Today continues the battles of the 20th round of the French championship and a surprise was immediately recorded in the first match.
Despite leading with a score of 2-0, defending champions "Paris Saint-Germain" were forced to admit the superiority of "Bastia," who were in the relegation zone.
After ten minutes of play, Lucas Moura managed to score a goal against the opponent's goalkeeper, and just a short while later, Adriens Rabiot doubled the lead for the Parisians. It seemed like Laurent Blanco's players were securing a victory and closing in on the leading team of the tournament table, "Marseille".
However, in the 32nd minute, the hosts' goalkeeper Ryad Boudebouzas successfully converted a penalty kick, and right at the end of the first half, Francois Modesto also scored.
Both teams went into the break with the scoreboard showing an even result. In the second half of the match, PSG players tried to regain their advantage, but in the 56th minute, defender Julien Palmieri scored a fantastic goal into the top corner of the net. To make matters worse, Palmieri scored another goal at the end of the match, solidifying a sensational victory for the "Bastia" team.
The winners immediately moved up to the fourteenth position from the relegation zone.
The other meetings were equally fierce. "Evian" played a 1-1 draw at home with "Rennes," who are in the middle of the table, managing to climb out of the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, the home team Guingamp defeated "Lens" 2-0, and "Nice" with the same score at home forced "Lorient" to surrender.
"Lille," on the other hand, celebrated a victory by the narrowest of margins against "Caen."
A grim day for "Paris Saint-Germain" in Reims. The home team could not withstand "Saint Etienne," who won 2-1 and now have one more point than the capital's club. Laurent Blanco's players have been pushed to the fourth position on the table.
