On Saturday, six matches of the French championship were played. The first match featured the clubs "Nantes" and "Bordeaux".
From the very first minutes, a tough and relentless battle took place on the field, and despite their different positions in the tournament table, the opponents seemed worthy of each other. Ultimately, victory was truly earned by the pupils of Jocelyn Gourvennec in the second half.
The fans gathered at the Nantes stadium were left disappointed, as they not only did not see many dangerous opportunities, but the only goal was scored by the visitors' striker Nicolas De Preville in the 26th minute.
Therefore, "Bordeaux" won with a score of 1-0. Due to the outcome of such a match, the defeated Claudio Ranieri's team could drop to the seventh place tomorrow, as the "Nice" club playing at home will have a great chance to surpass them.
In the evening, two famous teams failed to achieve victories, as they unexpectedly fight for survival at this moment.
Occupying the 18th place, the "Lille" footballers as guests against "Troyes" did not make a single shot on goal and surrendered after Adama Niane's goal at the end of the first half.
Meanwhile, "Toulouse" just below almost took two points away from the significantly higher "Montpellier" in an away game.
Although the guests were led forward by the goalkeeper Giannelli Imbula, everything was ruined by the red card earned by Max Gradel. Then, within the ranks of Montpellier's eleven, Solomon Sambia managed to score, and at the end of the match, Giovanni Sio extended their victory.
