Ligue 1: Marseille slowed down by Strasbourg, Le Havre stops the bleeding

Sunday 19th January 2025 05:23 PM

The Zimbabwean Marshall Munetsi opened the scoring for the Rémois (26th) but Arouna Sangante, following a confused action after a corner, put the two teams back on level terms (1-1, 67th).

With this point snatched away from its bases, Le Havre responds to the red lantern, Montpellier, who won against Monaco on Friday (2-1).

Didier Digard’s players remain 17th and first relegated, but still have a one point lead over Montpellier (13 against 12).

For Reims, now 13th in Ligue 1 with 21 points, this is the seventh championship match without a victory.

– Sad loss in Saint-Etienne –

Earlier in the day, Saint-Étienne, at home, with a goal from Augustine Boakye scored in the last minutes, snatched a draw against Nantes (1-1) which satisfied no one in the fight for maintenance.

Nantes, who opened the scoring thanks to Moses Simon’s fifth goal of the season, shares the points for the third time in a row after hanging on to Lille (1-1) and Monaco (2-2).

The Canaries remain 15th in the ranking while ASSE is 16th and a barrier, ahead of its opponent of the day on goal difference (-7 against -21).

The two teams can barely be satisfied with joining Rennes (14th) in the number of points (17) and being four points ahead of Le Havre, first relegation.
