Ligue 1 Results | Round 30

Ligue 1 Results, Round 30 

Olympique de Marseille stumbled in their chase to reel in Paris Saint-Germain, who beat OGC Nice on Saturday night. RC Lens, however, remain within six points of the league leaders, with the pair facing each other next weekend. 

Lens 2-1 Strasbourg

Lens kept up the pressure on PSG with a narrow win over relegation-struggling Strasbourg on Friday. Kevin Gameiro halved the deficit late on to give Franck Haise’s side a scare, but the home side held on. Les Alsaciens are now in the relegation zone. 

Angers 1-0 Lille

Angers finally ended their winless streak with a surprise win over European-chasing side Lille. Halid Sabanovic’s late winner brought the 202-day streak to an end, although it is almost certainly too little too late for Angers to avoid the drop. 

Nice 0-2 PSG

Goals from Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos ensured Christophe Galtier’s victorious return to the Allianz Riviera, in a game that was fraught with off-pitch controversy. An offensive banner, directed towards the former Nice manager, drew a reaction from Galtier post-match, which incensed Les Aiglons’ fans, as well as some of his former players. 

Lyon 3-1 Rennes

In front of a sparse crowd at the Groupama Stadium, Lyon came from behind to salvage a victory. Corentin Tolisso, Alexandre Lacazette and Bradley Barcola all scored in the second half to give Les Gones the three points. 

Montpellier 1-2 Toulouse 

Toulouse backed up their qualification for the Coupe de France final with a win against in-form Montpellier. Farès Chaïbi doubled Toulouse’s lead late on before Elye Wahi netted a consolation for Michel Der Zakarian’s side. 

Ajaccio 0-3 Auxerre 

Auxerre netted three first-half goals to secure a vital win against fellow strugglers Ajaccio. The victory sees them jump out of the relegation zone and into 15th. Ajaccio are now seven points from safety. 

Troyes 0-2 Clermont Foot

Troyes are another team in big trouble. Like Ajaccio, they are now seven points from safety following defeat against Clermont Foot, who are comfortably mid-table, and have already pierced the 40-point mark. 

Reims 1-1 Brest 

Folarin Balogun netted a late penalty to salvage a draw against Brest. It’s the England U21 international’s 18 Ligue 1 goal this season, only Kylian Mbappé and Jonathan David (both 19) have scored more. 

Nantes 2-2 Monaco

Monaco let another lead slip, this time against Nantes. Monaco were two up at half-time, but second-half goals from Mustafa Mohamed and Ludovic Blas salvaged a point for the relegation-threatened Canaris. 

Lorient 0-0 Marseille

Igor Tudor was left bemoaning Lorient’s defensive tactics as his side were held to a draw on Sunday night. Lens are now clear of Les Phocéens in second place.
