Still undefeated, the Lyonnaises won the other derby of the weekend, defeating neighbor Chassieu Décines with two goals scored in three minutes by Charpentier then Mendy, both served by Joseph (26th, 29th). Behind, Grenoble recovered from its setback on the Côte d'Azur. This time, the Grenobloises scored in the first minute through Lohourignon. Baga's header also shook the net ten minutes later. Ouillon then De Jésus would succeed in putting the teams back on level terms. But Charbonnier and Ben Hadj Mahmoud allowed Isère to succeed against Montauban (4-2).
Clermont and Cannes remain within reach. The Clermontoises managed to get rid of Nîmes by opening the score before the break through Lapierre (1-0, 44'). Meunier and Fachinan ensured success (3-0). It was more narrow and contested at Le Puy. Morse had scored a double quickly (3rd, 10th) but Ben Rabah found the net (1-2, 72'). Bendris scored the winning goal (1-3, 85') enough to avoid a Ponot comeback while Keïta scored straight away (2-3, 86').
The most prolific match was in Colomiers. Chaine, Belmiliani and Hassani scored in the first period. Daviaud saved the honor (1-3, 48') because Diakité, Belmiliani for a double and Issert finished the set (1-6). Finally Albi-Marssac, surprised by a counter-attack converted by Malaret, found the resources to come back through Kirbach with a cross strike (1-1, 72').
