Ligue 1: Auxerre stops Reims, Nice stumbles on Nantes – Ligue 1 – D8 – Summary

Not everyone is Cristiano Ronaldo.

It’s always easier to win a match when you get a penalty. But getting a penalty doesn’t always mean a goal. And it is not the Brazilian defender of AJA Jubal who will say the opposite since he saw Yehvann Diouf reject his attempt (36^e). This did not prevent Auxerre to offer themselves a third successAbbé-Deschamps against Reims (2-1). It must be said that Reims obviously did not want to win. Unable to be dangerous on the offensive level, despite a monopolized ball, the Rémois left too much space behind for the Auxerres who took advantage of it with a header from Sinaly Diomandé (1-0, 16^e) and a pawn from Hamed Junior Traoré who takes advantage of Diouf’s hesitation (2-0, 52^e). Nakamura’s header reduction at the end of the match won’t change anything (2-1, 95^e)Reims leaves the Top 5.

Angers also missed a penalty this afternoon. Except that there, this failure had an impact on the result since theThe SCO failed to obtain its first victory of the season, only managing a draw in Toulouse (1-1). However, Angers opened the scoring with Ibrahima Niane who shook the net for the first time since April 2023 (0-1, 5^e). Behind, the SCO tries to resist, misses the KO goal with this penalty from Himad Abdelli stopped by Guillaume Restes (58^e) and will end up cracking on a deflection from Joshua King who scores his first goal in France (1-1, 64^e).

In Nantes, no penalties to report. Yet, Nantais and Niçois would have liked to have a little help to decide between them (1-1). But given the form of the two goalkeepers (6 saves each), not sure that this would have changed the final result. To overcome Marcin Bulka, Nantes had to wait for a cross from Moses Simon for the head of Matthis Abline (1-0, 67^e). While Alban Lafont ended up breaking down at the end of a sublime action by the Aiglons between the returning Gaëtan Laborde, Sofiane Diop and Evan Guessand who came to punish his former club (1-1 72^e).
