"Saint-Etienne" defeated "Angers", while "Lyon" lost to "GFC Ajaccio"

Today in the French top division, the last three matches of the nineteenth round were played. The silver-chasing "Saint-Etienne" secured an important victory at home, defeating the newcomer "Angers" with a minimal margin, which dropped to third place. Meanwhile, Benjamin Corgnet's goal allowed the hosts to rise to eighth place. Last season's vice-champion "Lyon" will face the second round of "Ligue 1" by barely holding on to ninth place - today Hubert Fournier's team will face "GFC Ajaccio" club. Another loss would mean increasing pressure on the coach, whose position is currently not secure. Ajaccio's team, on the other hand, recovered after a poor start and rose to twelfth place, just eight points behind second. The only consolation for the losers is that the continuously injured Clement Grenier scored a goal. In the evening match, a draw was recorded between the teams "Bordeaux" and "Marseille", who are in the middle of the table. Their clash ended with a 1-1 result. Alaixys Romao scored in the 56th minute for the visitors from the port city, but just a minute later Wahbi Khazri equalized for the home team. Results: "Saint-Etienne" 1 - 0 "Angers" "GFC Ajaccio" 2 - 1 "Lyon" "Bordeaux" 1 - 1 "Marseille"
