Big guns drop points in Week 14 of the Ligue 1 Championelle – Ligue 1 news
The week 14 of the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 campaign was indeed a week to forget for all the big guns of the Championelle. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127, the three traditional giants of French football all dropped crucial points
after a one-week international break.
LOSC held
Rudi Garcia’s reigning French Ligue 1 champions LOSC Lille were held to a draw against a cocky http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moussa-Sow-c26939 failed to convert the spot kick as Alain
Casanova’s men held to a valuable point.
Paris Saint-Germain suffer
Cash-laden side from the Ile province Paris Saint-Germain hosted Nancy Lorraine this Sunday at the Parc des Princes. Ahead of the game, a lot of pressure was on coach Antoine Kombouare who’s future at the club is hanging in the balance. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jean-c18112 Fernandez’s
men executed a perfect gameplan against a good Parisian side.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 who has been a game changer for the side since his debut a few months ago, was unable to put in an effective shift.
A 49th minute winner by Jean Calve’s will certainly be put under the category of the goal of the season. The Nancy full-back who had never scored a goal for Nancy throughout his career at the club, couldn’t have asked for a better time to score.
An arched shot into the top corner would never have been saved by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salvatore-Sirigu-c32282. The result meant that PSG are now level on points with Montpellier Herault and Nancy on the other hand, have moved away from the bottom of the table.
Olympique Lyonnais lose again
Remi Garde’s side’s bad patch continued as Les Gones lost 2-1 at home against a good Stade Rennais side. The defeat at the hands of Federic Antonetti’s side was certainly not an ideal preparation for Lyon ahead of their vital Champions League encounter at
Stade de Gerland against Ajax Amsterdam.
Brazilian midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-Pitroipa-c19052. Kembo-Ekoko continued with his good goalscoring form by scoring his sixth goal of the season to ensure the Bretons of three
crucial points. The result now means that Lyon are in fifth place while Rennais move up to fourth place in the Ligue 1 standings.
Montpellier win again
Montpellier carried on with a good start to the season when they beat Olympique de Marseille at home. The sole goal of the game was infact an own goal by Marseille defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Souleymane-Diawara-c33850 in the 62nd minute.
The win over the Rhone giants means that Montpellier are level on points with PSG who have a better goal difference. Marseille on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league standings with just 18 points.
