A week after their defeat against AS Saint-Étienne, the bottom of the championship, MHSC, welcomed Lille to La Mosson. If Gasset's men did not have a bad match, they were very undisciplined, offering two penalties to Lille, the first of which was conceded by Ferri, rather crudely. At the end of the match, while his team was losing, Jean-Louis Gasset literally lost his temper and was sent off. In a unique encounter with 13 minutes of stoppage time, Nordin equalized for the MHSC and the situation immediately degenerated with a bad move on Génésio. General brawl and expulsion of Bakker and Coulibaly. Draw for the Héralutais, more than ever last in Ligue 1 (2-2).
Later in the afternoon, Le Havre faced Angers at the Océane stadium in a meeting between two contenders for retention. It was the Angevins who emerged victorious from this duel thanks to a goal from Abdelli (0-1). At home, Toulouse stopped Auxerre's progress and gave themselves some breathing room in the red zone thanks to a solid success against the Icaunais (2-0).
Finally in the last meeting of the afternoon, Lyon defeated Nice quite easily (4-1).
