This weekend, three postponed matches of the "Ligue 1" championship's 32nd round were played. EuroFootball.com provides brief descriptions of them.
1-1
8' own goal (0-1)
23' Harlington Shereni (1-1)
In this match, two teams fighting for survival in the highest division of France faced each other. Both goals were scored by "Guingamp" players, but one of them into their own net. This was done in the 8th minute by Le Cromas. Although the match ended with a 1-1 draw, the "Metz" players felt luckier, rising from 17th position to 16th.
2-1
11' Mathieu Bodmer (0-1)
45' equalizer (1-1)
78' Laurent Battles (2-1)
By securing a hard-fought victory, the "Marseille" club firmly established itself in 6th place and strengthened its position in the fight for the right to play in the UEFA Europa League next season, where they are performing fantastically this season, reaching the semifinals. Now "Marseille" is already 6 points ahead of the 7th-placed "Nantes" players, which is a significant advantage. Meanwhile, in case of a victory, "Lille" would have climbed to 8th position, but they failed to do so and remained in 9th.
3-1
4' (1-0)
57' (2-0)
68' (3-0)
75' Marouane Chamakh (3-1)
Already in the 4th minute, "Rennes" players broke through and then sent the ball into the "Bordeaux" team's goal two more times in a row. Only at the end of the match did "Bordeaux" manage to soften the result. This was done in the 75th minute by Marouane Chamakh. After this victory, "Rennes" reduced their gap from "Bordeaux" to a minimum, while the latter seem to have lost their chances to compete for a place in European tournaments next season.
