Saint Etienne, who seemed to redirect their situation weeks ago, returned to their old ways, lost with Strasbourg (1-0) and accumulated another five games without winning that once again dangerously approach the relegation zone of France's Ligue 1
Claude Puel's team, who got to be eleven games without adding the three points, took air after accumulating several without losing. However, three draws and two defeats, the last one at Stade de la Meinau this Sunday, have once again set off the alarm in the greens, only four points behind Nimes, the third to last.
He left Strasbourg empty, which was worth Ludovic Ajorge's goal in the 12th minute to extend his good line and escape from the bottom. Before, Saint Etienne could take advantage but the Algerian Ryad Boudebouz, former player of Betis and Celta, missed a penalty.
Girondins accentuated the recovery symptoms of the previous weeks with a resounding victory at the Allianz Riviera against Nice (0-3). Jean Louis Gasset's team accumulates a draw and two consecutive wins that now bring him closer to the upper zone, smoothly, while complicating the Nicaraguan panorama, with five dates without knowing the victory.
The Bordeaux team beat their rival after the break, with goals from Korean Ui-Jo Hwang in the 50th minute, Paul Baysse's in 75th and Croatian Toma Basic's in 87th.
Nantes were unable to score all three points at Stade de la Beaujoire to escape the bottom zone. He did not go beyond the draw against Lens (1-1), who missed a penalty at the start scored by former Rayista Gael Kakuta who, nine minutes from the end, scored the equalized goal after a shot from eleven meters scored by Imarn Louza put the locals ahead after half an hour into the game.
