Grenoble temporarily took the lead in Ligue 2 by beating Clermont (3-0) at home on Friday, in the first six matches of the 7th day rich in goals (19). The only undefeated team in the championship, Metz (4th), which travels to last place Troyes on Saturday evening (8 p.m.), could regain the lead. Paris FC (6th) will also have the opportunity to get closer to the leaders during the derby against Red Star (14th) at the Bauer Stadium (2 p.m.).
In the meantime, the Grenoblois took control thanks to their success against the Clermontois (15th), reduced to 10 at the hour mark. Two superb goals, a volley from Dante Rigo (45+1) and a free kick from Jessy Benet (62nd), then a strike from Pape Meïssa Ba (84th), offered the three points to the Isérois (13 pts) who are ahead of Lorient in the standings. Quickly in numerical superiority, the Lorientais had to wait to beat Ajaccio (3-0) at Moustoir. The young Eli Kroupi Junior, author of a double (69th, 78th), and Enzo Genton (90+2), both 18 years old, delivered the Merlus.
The series of four consecutive victories for Dunkirk (3rd) came to an end against Martigues (1-1). The Provençaux, who play their matches at the Marseille Vélodrome due to the renovation of their stadium, opened the scoring with a volley from Milan Robin (9th). Reduced to 10, they gave in to a goal from Naatan Skyttä (70th). But the Martéguaux are breathing after three defeats in a row and 13 goals conceded.
Bastia (7th) and Annecy (6th) drew (2-2) in Corsica. After a goal from Bastais Juan Guevara against his camp (10th), Lamine Cissé equalized for the Corsicans (39th), who then took the advantage thanks to a penalty from Amine Boutrah (51st). But Annecy snatched the point from a draw by Trevis Dago (82nd). Amiens (8th), surprised at La Licorne by Rodez and a goal from Timothée Nkada (30th), preserved its invincibility at home thanks to two penalties from Louis Mafouta (71st, 83rd).
