Week23  of le Championnat, played the 11th of January 1995

FFF (or the League Committee or whoever) awarded the game interupted
due to snow, between Metz and Lyon to the visitors with 2-1 (the score
at the stoppage). Metz wil protest against the decision.

AJ Auxerre                   1         FC Metz                       1
    Laslandes '51                           Pierre '47
    Att.: 11000
    After a scoreless first half, Metz took a surprise lead just after the
    break scoring through defender Pascal Pierre. Les Auxerrois needed just
    four minutes to reply, when Lilian Laslandes went up to head home
    the equalizer (on a Martins (?) cross). However, the Messins
    held on to the point despite huge pressure from the home side.

Stade Malherbe Caen-C-B-N    2         SC Bastia                     1
    Huysman '1                              Drobjnak '50
    Dedebant '14
    Att.: 12000
    The points were very valuable at Michel d'Ornano, however it was
    was only match for fourteen minutes. Les Malherbistes got the perfect
    start scoring in the first minute through Nicolas Huysman. On fourteen
    minutes, Stephane Dedebant added the second to more or less wrap up
    the game. The Corsicans got their consolation five minutes after
    the interval through there usual targeter, Drobjnak. However, the
    islanders were unable to find the equalizer. And therefore, Caen left
    the cellar while Bastia slipt into it.

Lille OSC                    1         AS Monaco                     0
    Duncker '13
    Att.: 15000 (sounds high)
    Les Nordistes took all points, surprisingly, thanks to a goal
    from Arnaud Duncker on 13 minutes. Otherwise, Monaco have started the
    year well, but this evening weren't theirs and they couldn't
    find a way past Jean-Claude Nadon in the LOSC goal. Three valuable points
    for the home side who got some much neede breathing space.

Olympique Lyonnais           3         AS Cannes                     1
    Maurice '1                              Kozniku '22
    Roche '38
    Rivenet '76
    Att.: 16000
    The top clash of the weekend turned in the home side's favour.
    Florial Maurice gave OL the early lead only to see Adrian Kozniku
    levelling the score midways through the first half. Stephane
    Roche put the home side in front again, after Lemasson had saved and
    the ball had bounced in the post before it arrived to Roche who slotted
    home. The game were sealed when Claude-Arnaud Rivenet got onto
    a pass from Maurice 14 minutes from time. L'OL go second with
    one game more played.

FC Martigues                 0         RC Lens                       0
    Att.: 3000
    (Played the 20th).
    Lens were held to a scoreless draw by a Martigues side
    struggling up front. The same can be said about Lens, so the score
    outta be quite logical, I suppose.

Montpellier-Herault SC       2         Havre AC                      1
    Divert '1                               Meszoly '30
    Divert '28
    Att.: 6000
    Fabrice Divert was the hero at Mosson pulling off two goals giving
    Montpellier the points, both within the first half hour. The visitors
    pulled one back just after the second, though, through Hungarian
    International Meszoly. However, the points stayed in Herault.
    MHSC, for the first time since the beginning of the season, left
    the cellar and seem to be moving upwards.

OGC Nice-Cote d'Azur         3         RC Strasbourg                 4
    Chaouch '32                             Leboeuf '14-p.k.
    Chaouch '35                             Mostovoi '26
    Fugen '89                               Bouafia '54
                                            Keller '62
    Att.: 5000
    Any neutral observer must have enjoyed the excitment at Stade Duray
    Saturday night. Racing went two in front within the first half hour,
    Franck Leboeuf getting the first from the spot. Alexander Mostovoi made
    it two twelve minutes later. Les Nicois levelled the score in four
    minutes though, both goals from Maroccan International Mohammed
    Chaouch. The second half started like the first, with the visitors
    takign the lead, Ali Bouafia and Marc Keller made the difference.
    The match wasn't over since Nice pulled one back in the dying minutes
    and the match ended chaotic when Nice tried to level things up yet
    again.

FC Paris-Saint-Germain       0         FC Nantes-Atlantique          3
                                            Loko '35
                                            N'Doram '60
                                            N'Doram '73
    Att.: 45266
    Bravo (PSG) red card 24th.
    Colleter (PSG) red card 79th.
    (Played the 11th).
    The clash between the top two was brought forward to the 11th
    of some wierd reason. It took place in front of a full house
    at Parc des Princes. The first major inciedent was Daniel Bravo
    being sent off for a foul on Japhet N'Doram. The one man advantage
    allowed Canaris to control the game and they also took the lead
    thanks to another one from topscorer Patrice Loko. The second half saw
    PSG moving forward while Nantes scored the goals. Japhet N'Doram
    scored twice to leave PSG with their first league home defeat for two
    years. The misery was completed when Patrick Colleter joined the
    stands, also being sent off. Les Canaris went ten points clear, although
    PSG have one game in hand, still it will be very difficult
    to catch up now.

    Att.: 6000
    Swierczwski (ASSE) red card.
    Histilloles (Bordeaux) red card.
    Les Stephanois fielded a young and unexperienced side, but still took
    all points, that tells something about the Bordeaux side
    of today :-( After the first half there Christophe Dugarry had the
    best chances, the fire broke loss when the Pole Swierczewski knocked
    down Zidane. Zidane got injured whiel the Pole was sent off, though
    nto before he, himself, had been knocked out of action by Senac
    (who didn't like the treatment of Zidane, understandably).
    Anthony Bancarel followed up his hat trick in Forboach with
    another goal, taking advantage of a Blanc mistake to drive
    home. Three minutes later, Blanc made up for it getting first
    to the ball, in a race with Huard, to snatch the equalizer.
    Franck histilloles was brought down and didn't like that, so he kicked
    the Green player and... was sent off. With both sides down to ten, the
    home side were silly enough to score again :-( A cross from
    Laurent Blanc was met by Ziadi's head  (whoever that is!) and the match
    was over. And yes, this was football and no kick-boxing variant...
    Next week sees a tough clash in Cannes which we can't afford to lose
    (we couldn't afford to lose this one, either and what did we?!) and with
    all the suspensions caused by the mess described above, that will be an
    enormous task.
