The 31st day ended Sunday evening with further disillusionment for OM, held in check by Nice, on the pitch at the Stade Vélodrome (1-1). A penalty from Wahi allowed the Aiglons to take a precious point in the race to maintain. The Marseillais see the Champions League slip away. Olympique Lyonnais, winner of Auxerre (3-2), has a third consecutive success and continues its quest for a podium. Les Gones are tied for 4th after Lille, who have just beaten Paris FC (0-1).
PSG is getting closer to the title…
The victory of Luis Enrique’s men in Angers (0-3) combined with the Lensois draw in Brest gives the Parisians a 6-point lead at the top.
Lille and Rennes are 4th and 5th after their successes (0-1 at Paris FC and 2-1 against Nantes). Strasbourg won in Lorient (2-3) while Monaco was held back by Toulouse in the race for Europe.
…Nantes and Auxerre still can’t do it
Beaten respectively by Rennes (2-1) and Lyon (3-2), the Nantais and the Auxerrois remain 17th and 16th (play-off). By taking a point, Le Havre (6 points more than the Burgundians) and Nice (5) move away, a little, from the relegation places. With 10 points behind Nice, first non-relegation, the Canaries will at best be able to finish as roadblocks.
Next weekend, PSG will host Lorient while Lens will go to Nice. The Parisians could be crowned champions of France.
