Three straight league wins, it had never happened this season for the GF38, but it needed at least that to seek maintenance in Ligue 2. Failing to have assured it, Grenoble got very seriously close, winning ( 0-1) on the lawn of Le Havre. As against Dunkirk, the Grenoble residents relied on Bamba Sanyang, scorer of his third goal since his arrival this winter (73′). Grenoble concludes its decisive week perfectly, with three victories therefore, including two against direct competitors for maintenance (Dunkirk and Valenciennes).
With the defeat of Rodez, and the draws of Dunkirk and Ajaccio (while the QRM-Nancy match was stopped at the end of the first period to throw smoke on the Nancy side – QRM was then leading 3-0), the GF38 made the very good operation of this 35th day. In the ranking, Grenoble is 15thwith 42 points, eight more than Rodez, the first non-relegation player while waiting for the result of QRM to be ratified (given the facts, the Rouennais should obtain victory on green carpet). A victory, next Saturday against Amiens, and the maintenance will be a done deal!
