Saturday 5 februari > Ligue 1

Brest 2 - 1 Nancy
Ayité 44’    Brou Apanga 74’ (OG)
Grougi 88’

Review:

2011 had started badly for both teams with a series of defeats in league and Cup eliminations of France. The series continues to Nancy. But for Brest, the victim of a large air pocket this winter, the victory tonight they will perhaps give new impetus to their second half of the season. Still without their top scorer, Nolan Roux, Brest presented with a new kid in point: Jonathan Ayité. Already passed through Brest few years ago, the Franco-Togolese was transferred during the last transfer window from Nimes. And he did not miss his debut in his "old colors" first game in Ligue 1, the first goal. And most importantly, Ayité was dangerous throughout the game.
The first half of the match was clearly dominated by Britons, authors of several clear chances (2nd, 9th, 31st, 41st), before the opening goal, therefore, of Ayité, a beautiful diving header (44) . Nancy is best left in the second period, took his time and found the equalizer after a huge scramble in the penalty area (Brou Apanga, CSC, 74th). Correa decides to bring fresh blood to at least catch the point of zero, and leaves Christian, too often overwhelmed tonight. Nancy is the third change. A minute later, Brison injured his thigh. There are still ten minutes left during which the defense of the Brest ASNL drink the broth. Grougi gets a kick interesting and takes care of transforming it, right in the corner. Taking advantage of this victory, the Finistériens Running through the first half of the draw (8th, 31 pts). For Nancy, not painted tonight, the struggle to maintain itself clear: Lens, 18th, is now just two points.

Caen 0 - 2 Lorient
                  Amalfitano 22’
                  Gameiro 86’


Review:


When Kevin Gameiro goes, everything goes to Lorient. And fortunately for Hake, sirens of the winter transfer window did not because of him. The International Curly Saturday at Caen, a crazy week, punctuated with two doubles and a goal that sealed the fate Norman (86th, 0-2). The Malherbes could suffer the same fate as Brest last Saturday, and Metz, France on Tuesday Cup by cashing a doubling of goleador Breton. But the former Strasbourg was less dashing on the lawn of Michael d'Ornano. "Of course I missed two fine before scoring in the snatch," he acknowledged. Monitored as milk on the fire by defending Caen, Gameiro has not had many opportunities to shine for 90 minutes. He has had to wait 37 minutes before hitting the first goal. But THEBAUX interposed a beautiful parade. After the break, yet it alone he will blame for missing the ball attempting a KO in the ladle over the goalkeeper out on an adventure (49th). Little success, Gameiro also saw a shot countered spinning close to the goal (67th) and a magnificent return Heurtaux to delay the deadline (77th). But he would not join the team of France without going to his goal or end his week on a sour note.

Lens 1 - 1 Valenciennes
Jemaa 37’   Dossevi 39’


Review:


In a little removed derby between Lens and Valenciennes, all happened in just two minutes. Dossevi (39th) responded to the opening goal Lensois Jemaa (37th). For 30 years, Valenciennes (13e) have not beaten the RCL in the first division, but visitors get a good place to keep three points ahead of their opponent tonight. Sang et Or remain relegation in 18th place at the end of this 22nd day of Ligue 1. They may even lose a rank if they win in Monaco on Sunday.

Marseilles 1 - 0 Arles-Avignon
Gignac 55’

Review:

In one week, the OM has met the last two in Ligue 1. And the champions of France did not fly over the proceedings. A draw on Sunday calamitous Monaco (0-0) then a minimalist victory against Arles-Avignon (1-0): balance is not brilliant. In response to the low level of play produced by his team in the Principality, the fans had decided to demonstrate their displeasure Saturday. At the entrance of the players on the lawn, a large banner across the bottom of the barred turn north. It stated an unequivocal message: "Get Up and the c..!" Marseille players knew they were being taken to task after their non-match in Monaco. "This banner has not been prepared at the last moment, Didier Deschamps explained a tired and weakened by a stubborn cold. The public is free to express his displeasure as he sees fit. But I prefer him to do to the end rather than before and during the encounter. " These words have hurt and upset several players. At halftime, Stephane Mbia came to say what he thought the Leader of the Yankees, the group of supporters who displayed the banner indelicate. In the locker room, the discussions quickly turned around the attitude to adopt to ignore the jeers of the fans. "We started in our bubble, explains Fanni. If we pay attention to the whistles, we shiver in the field and returning it no longer plays. We must think first of the result and the victory. In mid time, we were disappointed not to have scored. The coach and some players have taken the floor. They said it should not be afraid to play in the second half. "

Montpellier 1 - 2 Saint-Etienne
Martin 86’             Riviere 12’, 37’

Review:

By winning in Montpellier (1-2), Saint-Etienne has signed its fourth away win of the season. Despite the lack of which has yet to digest Payet his aborted transfer to PSG, Christophe Galtier players have a convincing performance thanks to a successful start to the match. More incisive, they immediately took the game to their account and quickly approached the cage Jourdren. Perrin recovered the ball in the center circle and launched deep river. Etienne striker has played his defender and dribble the goalkeeper Montpellier mark with a shot from the right (0-1, 12e). Rene Girard's men remained without reaction. The ASSE does not require both to double the lead. Batlles has pierced the defense on the right of the surface. The midfielder was then used river, all alone in the axis, which has only to push the ball into the empty goal (0-2, 37th). Etienne striker and has offered his first double of the season just before the break.

Nice 1 - 0 Sochaux
Pejcinovic 29’

Review:

The Eaglets won a precious success that allows them to distance themselves from the relegation zone. They are nevertheless scared to the end against a team Sochaux who made a strong second period despite being outnumbered. The lions can also aggrieved by the arbitration, which does not favor them tonight (expulsion severe disallowed goal).

Rennes 1 - 0 Paris SG
Brahimi 19’

Review:

The rants are sometimes good. Ask Rennais. This week, Frederic Antonetti had blown into their lungs. The technician Corsican had any, but maybe not at all, tasted the blow received at Sochaux (5-1) last weekend. Elimination Cup in France, facing Reims (3-4) The straw that broke the camel's back. Antonetti is a psychopath. So he raised his voice. And his message was heard: Saturday night's Stade Rennais responded with a narrow success but oh so valuable against Paris Saint-Germain (1-0).
