Far from its bases, on the lawn of the red lantern, LOSC managed to do better than a draw (2-2), sharing the points with Montpellier. This is a very bad transaction from an accounting standpoint.
The Montpellier sun, worthy of a beautiful spring afternoon, welcomed LOSC with warmth and gentleness. It was then difficult to adapt to the local roughness. The fight was also long, very long, even too long. In control of their subject, LOSC dictated the pace in the first period, despite the few incursions and attempts from Montpellier. This is how Jonathan David logically opened the scoring by converting a penalty, caused by Matias Fernandez-Pardo, just before the break (44'). This advantage was, however, only very short-lived with the equalizer in added time (45+2′) from a corner. During the second act, the advantage acquired in the same way was sustained over time, but could not withstand the thirteen minutes of additional time. During these brief moments, LOSC obviously had time to concede a second achievement (90+4′) synonymous with a draw.

This zero result is far from trivial for LOSC (4th, 23 pts), which is scuttling itself in the quest for its own objectives. With a success in their pocket, their men could have positioned themselves just one point behind Olympique de Marseille and AS Monaco in the race for the podium, but no, three units now separate them.
In addition, LOSC can no longer afford to look only ahead, but must be vigilant about what is happening in its rearview mirror. Olympique Lyonnais in particular, winner of OGC Nice, is only one point behind, on the lookout for the slightest misstep.
In addition to the Lille situation, Stade Brestois, Stade Rennais and Angers gave themselves a little breathing room by pocketing three precious points in turn.
