Nantes avoids the worst against Ajaccio
Led by two goals by Ajaccio, Nantes came back at the very end of the match and avoided the relegation zone before the break (2-2). After dominating the debates for an hour, the Corsicans logically opened the scoring from the penalty spot by Youcef Belaïli (57th). They even doubled the bet by Romain Hamouma (66th), perfectly served by the same Belaïli after a counter flash (68th). But the Nantes, virtually 18th at this time of the match, did not give up and came back to score. By Ludovic Blas first, who took advantage of a clever deviation from Mostafa Mohamed (70th). Then thanks to a cross from Moses Simon, who ended up in the nets of Benjamin Leroy (89th). The Nantes residents avoid a truce in the relegation position and point to 15th place. Ajaccio remains 18th, one point behind their opponent of the day.

After their spectacular comeback, the Nantes people are in 15th place. In the event of defeat, they would have spent the truce in the shoes of the 18th and therefore relegated.
Lille revives, Angers sinks
At the top of the standings, LOSC revived against Angers (1-0). In a meeting that they dominated without being sparkling, Paulo Fonseca’s players scared each other. Half an hour into the game, Salama thought he opened the scoring for Angers but after intervention by the VAR, he was signaled in an offside position at the start of the action. In the process, Tiago Djalo opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner. The Northerners then managed their lead, but shook in the final moments, after Carlos Baleba was sent off directly for over-commitment. With these three points, LOSC come back to within three points of Marseille, 4th with a game behind, while Angers remains bogged down in the red lantern position.
Montpellier-Reims, last five minutes of madness
After 85 minutes with few chances, Montpellier and Reims put on a great show in the final moments. Reims first logically opened the scoring through Marshall Munetsi (88th) but Sacha Delaye snatched a draw for the Héraultais by scoring his first goal in added time (90+2). The image of this Sunday remains Téji Savanier, released in the 65th minute. The captain could not hold back his tears, disappointed with his individual performance. Montpellier have not won for 7 games.

Brest leaves the red zone
In the last meeting of this Sunday afternoon, Brest overcame Troyes (2-1). The Bretons believed in a dream start with a goal from Honorat in the 2nd minute, finally canceled for offside after intervention by the VAR. But the Brestois remobilized and opened the scoring through Romain Del Castillo from the penalty spot (54th). Efforts quickly reduced to nothing after Brendan Chardonnet gave hope to the Trojans by scoring against his side from a corner (58th).
Brest kept pushing and got a penalty missed by Islam Slimani. But the VAR intervened for an incursion into the surface of Erik Palmer-Brown and this time, it was Steve Mounié who took care of it. The striker, back after a heavy injury, did not tremble to convert the penalty and give victory to his team (77th).
