“There is the very high level and there is Ligue 1”, Eric Roy tackles French refereeing
Eric Roy did not hide his annoyance after Stade Brestois’ victory over Toulouse this Sunday, during the 5th day of Ligue 1 (2-0). The coach of the Breton club felt that the referees in the championship were not as competent as those who officiate in the Champions League.

It’s over in Montpellier and Brest!
Quickly led, Montpellier finally managed to overturn Auxerre thanks to a double from Akor Adams to win 3-2 ! This is MHSC’s first victory this season, and it feels good! In Brittany, despite a revamped team, Brest managed to score in the first half before giving up after the break. Toulouse never found the fault and even conceded a goal at the very end of the game (2-0). Thank you for following this live, have a good evening!

The Canaries are failing to be dangerous!

Montpellier pushes! (MHSC 0-1 AJA)
The Héraultais have been pushing to equalise for a few minutes but the Auxerre defence is holding firm!
What a situation Mohamed ruined! (SCO 1-1 FCN)

The Violets resumed as they had finished the first period and put pressure on the sloppy Brestois.

The Canaries have the ball but are unable to find enough speed to catch the Angers defence out.

Salah’s shot too far away (SB 0-0 TFC)
The former Rennes player tries from too far away to surprise Restes. Toulouse has been losing its balls quite high up for a few minutes, be careful not to get punished.
It’s balanced between Montpellier and Auxerre (MHSC 0-0 AJA)
There is not yet one team that has taken the lead over the other for the moment. Montpellier and Auxerre deploy their attacks one after the other.
