Seven goals in three games, the Ligue 1 update evening proved to be generous in terms of achievements on Wednesday. By winning against Lorient (3-1), Lille recorded the second good news this Wednesday after the signing of Hatem Ben Arfa. Strasbourg continues to hover after its nice success in Clermont (2-0). Finally, Troyes won a valuable success in Montpellier (1-0) in the race to maintain.
Lille on fire
You should not arrive late at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium. In the space of thirty minutes, Jocelyn Gourvennec’s players folded the deal thanks to three goals from Isaac Lihadji (10th), a csc from Moritz Jens (19th) and Reinildo (30th). The match is folded and Lorient is content to save the honor at the very end of the meeting by Sambou Soumano (90th + 2). Thanks to this success, the Northerners return to five points from the podium. On the other hand, Christophe Pélissier’s players remain in the play-off position (18th) after a fourteenth match without a win.
We can’t stop Strasbourg
By winning at Clermont, Julian Stephan’s players took fourth place in Ligue 1. Solid, the Alsatians made the difference through Kevin Gameiro, who is making a successful return to France after eight years in Spain, just before the break (44th). The Clermontois conceded a second goal with a csc from Cédric Hountondji (77th). The promoted Auvergne slipped to 17th place and became the first non-relegation player.
Troyes breathes better
The good air of the Hérault has done good to the Trojans. The goal scored by Xavier Chavalerin shortly before the last quarter of an hour (74th) allows Bruno Irles’ players to climb to 15th place and above all to stop a nasty series of four games without a win. It is also the first victory for the new ESTAC coach in place since the start of 2022 after the departure of Laurent Batlles.
