Vahid Halilhodžić failed in his mission with Nantes in League 1 – this club was officially relegated tonight.
Nantes are five points behind 16th-placed Auxerre before the end of the season, who will play in the Ligue 1 survival playoffs.
Lens players remained in the race for the French champions by winning the first leg of the 33rd round of Ligue 1 in front of their Nantes fans with a narrow 1-0.
A goal worth three points was scored by 16-year-old Portuguese midfielder Mezian Soares in the 79th minute, and this was his first team debut.
Lens came three points behind Paris Saint-Germain, but the Parisian team has three more games to play, and Lens two more.
Among them is the confrontation between these teams, which will be played in Lens on May 13, and PSG will host Brest on Sunday.
PSG has 70 points, and Lens 67. In the fight for the Champions League are Lyon (60), Lille (58), Rennes (56), and there is little chance that Monaco (54) can be included.
With tonight’s defeat, Nantes (23 points) joined Metz (16) as the future second division.
Auxerre (28 points) will try to avoid the playoffs to stay, and Nice (31) and Le Havre (32) are in danger.
