Auxerre in ecstasy, stunning Warriors, a not flamboyant Real: the news on a set

What you may have missed between last night and this morning

1. Football – Ligue 2: Auxerre leaves Sochaux and awaits its next opponent

We already know one of the two teams that will compete for the right to play in Ligue 1 next season. Ten years after relegation, AJ Auxerre won on penalties against Sochaux (0-0, 5-4 on pens), causing the Abbé-Deschamps crowd to invade the pitch. The players of Jean-Marc Furlan, third in Ligue 2, will know tonight the identity of their opponent in the play-offs – ASSE or Metz – whom they will face on May 26 and 29.

2. Basketball – NBA: The Warriors double the lead against Dallas

Golden State made the break in the Western Conference Finals. Led by 19 points in the second quarter, the Warriors overthrew the Mavericks (126-117) under the impetus of a great Kevon Looney (21 pts at 10/14 in shooting, 12 rebounds). Stephen Curry’s teammates (32 pts) now lead 2-0 in the series and will head to Dallas on Monday for two decisive sets.

3. Football – La Liga: Already champions, Real Madrid ends in a draw

An end to the championship at a slow trot. One week before their Champions League final, Real Madrid, crowned Spanish champions three weeks ago, did not hurt themselves against Betis (0-0). Deprived of David Alaba, Carlo Ancelotti lined up the team which should start the match against Liverpool next weekend, while Marcelo bade farewell to the Madrid public.

2. Ice hockey – Mondial 2022: the French team maintained in Elite!

They had done their part of the job by defeating Italy in overtime (2-1) on Wednesday in their fourth match of the 2022 World Cup. The French were also able to count on the help of Slovakia, victorious in the Kazakhstan Friday evening (4-3), to officially ensure their maintenance in Elite. Enough to allow the Blues, in the running for the 1/4 finals, to better understand the match against Denmark this Saturday at 11:20 a.m.

3. Football – Serie A: Roma qualified for the Europa League

José Mourinho’s men did not wait for the Conference League final against Feyenoord to ensure qualification for the Europa League next season. Thanks to a double from Tammy Abraham, the Romans largely won on the lawn of Torino last night (0-3) during the final day of Serie A. They can no longer be joined by Fiorentina.

4. Rugby – ProD2: Oyonnax joins Bayonne in the semi-finals

Fallout of Colomiers in an electric match during the first round of the play-offs for the Top 14 (19-15), Oyonnax, third in the regular season, will play for a place in the final against Bayonne on May 29. The other semi-final will pit Nevers against Mont-de-Marsan. The winners will meet in Montpellier on June 5.

5. Golf – PGA Championship: Zalatoris new leader, things are better for Woods

Thanks to five birdies, including three in a row, Will Zalatoris has taken over as head of operations for the PGA Championship from Rory McIlroy. In bad shape the day before (99th), Tiger Woods narrowly passed the cut despite the pain radiating from his right leg. He moved up to 53rd place and saw the elimination of world number 1 Scottie Scheffler in the second round.

What you won’t miss this Saturday

1. Cycling – Giro: A 14th stage cut out for van der Poel… and Nibali?

147 kilometers between Santena and Turin await the riders for the 14th stage of the Giro. A relatively short stage, but which should give many competitors a hard time with its five climbs, including the climbs of Colle della Maddalena and Superga to tame twice. Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) could do well, just like Vincenzo Nibal according to our experts.

2. Football – Ligue 1: The battle for Europe… and the play-offs

It is perhaps an anthology multiplex which we will attend from 9 p.m. AS Monaco (68 pts), Olympique de Marseille (68 pts) and Stade Rennais (65 pts) are fighting for a place on the podium and therefore qualification for the Champions League. If the two clubs from the South leave with a slight advantage, we must not however hide the fact that they will respectively move to Lens and receive Strasbourg, two contenders for Europe. At the bottom of the standings, FC Metz and Saint-Etienne are playing their survival in Ligue 1, while the agony of the Girondins de Bordeaux should end tonight…

3. Formula 1 – Barcelona Grand Prix: who will start on pole?

Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) won the first two practice sessions on Friday at Montmelo, the circuit which hosts the Spanish Grand Prix. Relegated each time to three tenths, Max Verstappen (Red Bull) suffered the return of the boosted Mercedes. George Russell and Lewis Hamilton set the second and third fastest times in practice two.
