Two days before the end of the season, the Brest (14th) can finally breathe thanks to their precious success, the 5th in a row at home, on two goals from Franck Honorat and Steve Mounié. Eric Roy's troops were then able to commune as it should be with the public of the Francis-Le-Blé stadium, finally relieved after an irrespirable exercise.
Strasbourg, on the other hand, comes out frustrated with his trip to Troyes, already condemned to the L2. The Alsatians thought they had achieved the essential with the goal of Habib Diarra and the red card addressed to the Trojan Gauthier Gallon. But the exclusion of Alexander Djiku and the equalization of Rony Lopes cooled the Strasbourg at the end of the match.
With six points ahead of Nantes, 17th and first relegation two games from the end of the championship, Racing (15th) is still in a favorable enough position to stay one more season in L1, and the last ticket for L2 should be played between Nantes and Auxerres (16th), who receive PSG in the evening in the closing match of the 36th day.

In the fight for Europe, Rennes (6th) still clings to the hope of winning the 5th place, synonymous with a ticket for the Conference Europa League. Rennes crushed Ajaccio (5-0), thanks in particular to a hat-trick from Amine Gouiri, and return to a short length of Lille (5th).
