Football Update: French Ligue 1 Review
Ligue 1 is still a wide open race and any team can lift the title.
League leaders, LOSC Lille moved a little bit clear of the chasing pack on top of the standings but they should regret the 1-1 draw at home against Saint Etienne as dropped points as the lead was increased by only 1 point.
After Paris Saint Germain stuttered and then lost 2-0 against Nancy, Lille became the sole leaders in the Ligue 1 but it was still 2 vital points dropped by Lille when a controversial penalty goal by Saint Etienne’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bakary-Sako-c7217 gave the visitors a share
of the spoils in the 75th minute after Lille striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moussa-Sow-c26939 had given Lille an important lead in the 72nd minute.
Paris Saint Germain self-destructed after conceding two late goals at home against Nancy. The defeat was PSG’s first defeat in 2 months. PSG’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mamadou-Sakho-c23293 saw red in the early stages of the first half as Paris Saint Germain played almost 80 minutes of
the match with 10 men and seemed to be destined for at least a draw but were shattered later on as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Youssouf-Hadji-c37599 scored two goals in the 2nd half.
Ligue 1 strugglers Caen got a rare and much needed win against Rennes thanks to the games’ only goal scored by Romain Hamouma. Hamouma gave Caen the lead in just 8 minutes of the first half and then, Caen kept the visitors at bay and held fast against a
very harsh onslaught.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Julien-Quercia-c19945 saved a point for the visitors
right after the interval.
Brest and Marseille played a dull 0-0 draw. The reigning Ligue 1 champions have had a difficult turn of events in recent weeks and haven’t won a game in 4 games and another draw made it 5 games without a win for Michael Laudrups’ side.
South Korean international, Chu-Young Park scored a dramatic injury time winner to give struggling Monaco a vital 2-1 win against Sochaux. Monaco took the lead through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Lolo-c16724 levelled the score. Chu-Young Park stayed cool
as he slotted an injury time winner for Monaco.
Valenciennes won 2-1 against Toulouse after coming from behind in an action packed game thanks to goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moussa-Sissoko-c26938 had given the visitors the lead in the first half.
Arles are still lying hopelessly in the bottom of the table as they drew at home against Nice in the most boring match of the Ligue 1 this week.
