Ligue 2: Red Star Win – Grenoble 0-3 & 2nd Place Confirmed

Red Star seems determined to join Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC in Ligue 1 next season. Solid second in Ligue 2, the Audoniens returned to victory this Saturday afternoon by winning on the Grenoble pitch (0-3).

Grégory Poirier’s men did not give themselves time to doubt for long. From the half-hour mark, Kévin Cabral gave the visitors the advantage, lying in wait on a good cross from Durand (0-1, 28th). After the exclusion of Diba on the hour mark (64th), Red Star hit the nail on the head with Trani (73rd) then Benali (87th), from the penalty spot.

Leaving under the whistles of the Stade des Alpes, the Grenoblois sink into the soft underbelly of the ranking, in 13th place in Ligue 2 and suffer a third defeat in a row, in all competitions.

For its part, the Red Star restarts after its defeat against the Trojan leader during the previous day (1-0). The Ile-de-France residents regain the second place temporarily left on Friday evening in Dunkirk and are now 6 points behind Estac.
