It’s an evening that crystallizes all the emotions on the Ligue 2 pitches. Le Mans FC lost control in front of their home crowd against USL Dunkerque, leaving the Northerners leading 2-0 at the break. The survival of the Blood and Gold in National is now conditional on the results of Nancy, Avranches and Châteauroux.

Disaster scenario in the 35th minute
A situation that gives fans cold sweats. In the 35th minute of this last day of competition, Nancy opened the scoring against Bourg-Péronnas and temporarily exited the relegation zone. Avranches, who scratched the point of a draw against Cholet, also got out of trouble and Châteauroux performed well against Paris 13, leading 2-0. Consequence: Le Mans FC is then virtually relegated.
But football has not finished having surprises in store for the Le Mans people. Less than two minutes after Nancy’s first goal, Bourg-Péronnas equalized. Cholet opens the scoring against Avranches. Ewan Hatfout, responsible for the opener against Dukerque, and his partners can breathe. They keep their place in National.
