The top-of-the-table duel between Roubaix-Wervicq kept the approximately 150 spectators in suspense. A meeting between an Auxerre team undefeated since January 14 and an ambitious Roubais team. It was the locals who were in the lead at the break thanks to the inevitable Cameroonian Tchaptchet (1-0, 32'). A free kick from Tirilly restarted the proceedings (1-1, 48') before Prette in stoppage time signed the northerners' success (2-1). Auxerre remains leader but is only two points ahead. Behind, things are still jostling.
Bourges also overcame his opponent in added time thanks to Ndiaye who headed home a cross from Chezeau. Previously, the Bréquigny players had opened the scoring through Martineau (0-1, 52') but Ndiaye had already scored (1-1, 62'). Thériez scored from distance with a goal (2-1, 75') which Tessier reduced to nothing (2-2, 83') before this final goal. It was a different scenario for La Roche who made the difference from the first period in Caen. La Roche joins Bourges and Bréquigny with 13 points.
Behind, Sarcelles rolled ahead of Brest. If the Brestoises had a first goal disallowed for offside, they then collapsed when Flauzin served Bertot (1-0, 42') before a penalty scored by Aznar (2-0, 44'). Laury Aznar would even score a quadruple with three other goals in the second half for a Sarcellois success (5-0). The Dionysiennes defeated Angers (4-1). The Angevines opened the scoring through Dubois but Laforte equalized in stoppage time. In the second half, Laforte scored twice as did Battouri (4-1). Finally Longvic exits the relegation zone thanks to its success over QRM acquired in the first quarter of an hour with an opening goal from Kouame then ten minutes later from Hormat (2-0).
