Six months after its acquisition by the Arnault family, the Paris FC is promoted in Ligue 1 thanks to its draw in Martigues (1-1), combined with that of Metz against Rodez (3-3), Friday evening during the 33rd and penultimate day of Ligue 2. To join Lorient, whose climb has been official since last weekend, the Parisians had to do at least as well as the Messins this Friday. With 66 points, four more than Metz, Paris obtains the second direct ticket for Ligue 1 while the Grenats, 3rd, can still go up thanks to the dams.
The Parisians obtained what he was looking for without making a big match while the Messins, led most of the time, were never in a position to make the suspense last until the last. It was not until the start of the second period that the PFC opens the scoring by Pierre-Yves Hamel. After a failed outing of his goalkeeper, Amraoui rejected in the axis directly in Hamel’s feet which concluded from a heavy strike (1-0, 49th). But Martigues, struggling to maintain itself, equalized thanks to a lob in the skylight, sliding (59th).
Looks at Lorraine
At the final whistle, the eyes turned to Lorraine where Metz and Rodez still clashed for a few minutes and who finally shared the points in a crazy match (3-3). The Grenats conceded the opening of the scoring, against, by Timothée Nkada (65th), which had missed a penalty at half an hour of play. Four minutes later, Metz reduced the score on a penalty of Gauthier eh (69th) but gave up a second time by Bentayeb (73rd), then by Ibrahima Baldé (80th).
-Led 3-1, the Messins relaunched the suspense at the end of the match thanks to a second penalty, converted by Sabaly (83rd), then thanks to Albie Jallow (87th), but did not manage to seek victory.
Already promoted in Ligue 1 since last weekend, the leader Lorient lost 2-1 in Bastia and lets Paris FC come back to two lengths. But the Merlus keep their destiny in their hands to become champions. In a match between two contenders for the accession dams, Dunkirk (4th) could not do better than a 0-0 draw against Laval (6th), like Guingamp hung 2-2 by Bastia (9th). With this point, the En Avant retains its precious 5th place, the ultimate qualifying for accession dams in Ligue 1.
Annecy can no longer believe in a participation in this dam after being surprised by Clermont by bowing 3-2 in Auvergne. One day from the end, the Clermontois carry out a very good operation in the fight for the maintenance by doubling Martigues (17th) to recover the place of barragist unlike goals. At home, Grenoble got out of Troyes (3-1), while Amiens largely beat Pau (4-2) thanks in particular to a double of Louis Mafouta (7th, 24th). Relegated since April 18, Caen has held in check (1-1) the Red Star, 15th, who ensures the maintenance.
