After a great victory in the Champions League this Wednesday, Brest lost 3 goals to 1 on the Montpellier pitch. Le Havre lost 3 goals to 0 against Reims and Toulouse beat Rennes (2-0).
Montpellier takes Brest by surprise
Brest is not the most consistent club in the elite. Winners of Sparta Prague in the Champions League 1-0 a few days ago, the Bretons have just lost 3-1 at the very poorly ranked Montpellier. It was Arnaud Nordin who opened the scoring in the 6th minute from the penalty spot. It was then Wahbi Khazri who doubled the score from a free kick in the 12th minute. Jonas Martin then reduced the gap in the 50th minute before Tanguy Coulibaly sealed the victory for MHSC in the 84th minute. Montpellier is still last and Brest is 12th.
Toulouse pushes Rennes a little further
The international break will do Rennes good. The Bretons, who have just parted ways with Julien Stéphan and who recruited Jorge Sampaoli, sank this Sunday against Toulouse 2 to 0. It was Joshua King who opened the scoring in the 14th minute before Aron Donnum doubled the lead. score in the 23rd minute. Toulouse then managed their lead in the second half. Rennes were whistled by their supporters at the end of the match. Toulouse is now 10th and Rennes 13th, just two points from the red zone. Jorge Sampaoli will have a lot of work after the international break.
Reims masters Le Havre
In a match that was more balanced than the score might suggest, the Rémois held their place by beating the Le Havre play-off 3-0. The Champenois opened the scoring quickly through Diakité in the 15th minute. Nakamura then doubled the score in the 21st minute before having a goal denied. Ito then took the Rémois lead in the 57th minute. Homophobic chants from Le Havre supporters disrupted the rest of the match. Le Havre is now 17th and Reims 6th, two points from the Champions League. Luka Elsner's work is starting to pay off.
