The Monk had the opportunity to overtake Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille in the standings but left two points due to the goalless draw against Reims: 0-0 and 30 points each for the two teams chasing Paris Saint-Germain .
The results of the afternoon: Nzola still scoring
Lens drew at Auxerre: 2-2, which earned them sixth place in the standings, at least temporarily. Goal for the lead with El Aynaoui in the 22nd minute, Perrin equalizes in the 31st minute, then the visitors take the lead again with the former Fiorentina M’Bala Nzola at 45′. The equalizer for Auxerre came in the 73rd minute with Osho. For Nzola it is the fourth goal of the season in the French championship (he is in Ligue 1 on loan with the right to buy from the Viola).
In the afternoon only a draw for De Zerbi
Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille returned to hiccups at the Velodrome and did not go beyond a draw against the difficult Lille. The big match of the 15th day of Ligue 1 ends 1-1: Merlin deceives the hosts in the first half but Diakité scores the goal that seals the result three minutes from the end. In injury time, a red card goes to Lirola and OM closes with 10 men.
