In the first half, the Montpellier team of Jordan Ferri, captain in the absence of Téji Savanier, suspended, had all the difficulty in the world to resolve the Yassine Kechta problem. The Moroccan, very restless, could have obtained a penalty (28th) but missed his face to face with Lecomte (29th). Montpellier, initially dangerous from set pieces, gradually became emboldened in the wake of Whabi Khazri, without managing to materialize.
