Ligue 2. Paris FC will spend the break as leader, Troyes dead last… The summary of the 8th day

Long held in check against Laval (10^e), Paris FC finally turned the match around thanks to its starters, Julien Lopez (decisive passer) and Pierre-Yves Hamel (scorer), at the end of the match (1-0), Friday October 4. This third consecutive success, their sixth in eight days, allows the capital’s players to spend the second international break of the season in a leading position.

Their new runner-up is called Lorient, who logically beat (1-2) SM Caen (14^e) and which has the best defense in the championship, while the surprising Dunkirk, which managed to overthrow Troyes (2-1), occupies 3^e place. The Northerners also remain in six matches without defeat (5 wins, 1 draw).

Best attack in the championship, Metz (4^e) was scared but came out (3-2) against Amiens (9^e). Scorer (1-0) of Red Star (15^e), Annecy also made a good move in the ranking (5^e).

At the bottom of the table, Rodez, surprise winner of Grenoble (2-1), who thus falls from 2^e at 6^e place, breathe a little better (he went from 18^e at 16^e). Martigues (17^e) brought back a point (1-1) from Ajaccio (12^e).

Rising

While it remained in five matches without a victory (3 defeats, 2 draws), Clermont raised its head by beating Guingamp (4-1) on Saturday, thanks in particular to a double from Ousmane Diop. The Auvergnats, relegated from Ligue 1 this summer, are 13^es at the truce.

Declining

While he had pulled his head out of the water a week earlier against Metz (2-1 victory), Troyes fell back into his faults at Dunkirk (2-1 defeat) on Friday. Stéphane Dumont’s men thus fell to last place in Ligue 2.
