Marseille slowed down in Troyes, Monaco is scuttled, Angers weighed down by the sun … What to remember from the afternoon matches

0

The 26th day of Ligue 1 continued on Sunday February 27. Monaco fell against Reims (1-2), like Angers against Lens (1-2). Clermont was hooked by Bordeaux (1-1), and Nantes did not break through the Messin lock (0-0). The good operation of the day is for Lorient, winner in Brest (0-1). Later, Marseille was held in check at Troyes (1-1). Back to the highlights of the afternoon.

Marseille too manager ends up punished

Surprise question: after an opener, is it better to look for the break or to hold the result? In Troyes, Jorge Sampaoli chose the restrictive approach after a penalty converted by Dimitri Payet (28th). Afterwards, we don’t take many risks by admitting it: the Argentinian technician was wrong. By dint of managing and procrastinating, OM were punished by Yoann Touzghar (90th).

The opportunity was also perfect for OM to distance Nice and Rennes. But even in the face of the worst attack in Ligue 1, Marseille purred. Without a real professional centre-forward, Marseille had all the trouble in the world to worry Estac, despite being in poor shape. With courage, the players of Bruno Irles snatch a point and leave the red zone.

Monaco, five fatal minutes

We imagine a Monegasque supporter leaving Louis-II with peace of mind, in the 85th minute. ASM led 1-0 against clumsy Rémois. But Monaco’s lead melted like snow on the Rock. The unfortunate Kevin Volland catapulted the leather … into his own skylight on a Champagne free kick (85th). Worse, Jean Lucas tripped and received a red for a bad sole on Ilan Kebbal (88th).

But at digestive time, the Monegasques drank the chalice to the dregs. On the other hand, Nathanaël Mbuku donned the executioner’s cape to crucify ASM (90th + 3). After Lorient (0-0) and Bordeaux (1-1), Monaco is still stalling against a badly ranked team and moving away from Europe.

Angers bathed in sunshine

Don’t talk about Angevin sweetness to Danijel Petkovic. Bothered by the sun, the SCO goalkeeper conceded two cap goals against Lens. In the 74th, he misjudged the trajectory of a cross from Jonathan Clauss and released the leather. In the process, Ismaël Traoré ricocheted off his teammate Batista Mendy trying to clear … sending the ball into his own net.

Three minutes later, Petkovic hesitated again on a cross from Clauss. A fatal stammering, the ball yet unscrewed by the Lensois right side ending in the skylight (77th). Cruel for a SCO in numerical inferiority but in front of the score before these two blunders. Even more unfortunate, Angers concedes a fifth defeat in a row and slips to fourteenth place.

Lorient, at ease Breizh

Lorient has finally won its first away success. For Hakes at ease at Moustoir, this victory had to be gleaned from a Breton opponent. In Brest, Christophe Pélissier’s players struggled for a long time in the last gesture despite opportunities galore. With wear, the Morbihanais found the fault by Koné (73rd), launched by Abergel from a subtle exterior.

Sufficient to take the measure of an opponent undermined by, once will not hurt, a red Chardonnet. Capital for Lorient, now sixteenth in Ligue 1 with 24 points, including 19 gleaned in Brittany. Rennes, host of the Merlus at the end of April, is warned.

The Girondins in solidarity with their Ukrainian teammate

What were you doing on January 27, 2013? Josuha Guilavogui, he planted his last goal in Ligue 1 with Saint-Etienne. Nine years of exile in Spain and Germany later, the international midfielder scored in the elite, this time with Bordeaux. But his own fate took a back seat. The new captain ran to the bench and jumped into the arms of his Ukrainian teammate Danylo Ignatenko.

Arrived this winter from the Dnipro, the midfielder whose partner remains stuck in Ukraine is “arrived in tears” in training this week. Entering late in the game, Ignatenko did not allow his team, dressed in a blue and yellow armband, to win. Held in check in Clermont (1-1), Bordeaux remains red lantern.
