Week 22 of "le Championnat", played the 22nd and 23rd of January 1993

FC Girondins de Bordeaux     1         AJ Auxerre                    0 :-) :-)
    Zidane '67
    Girondins had the pressure the first hour and it finally paid off when
    Zinedine Zidane received the ball 35 meters from the goal defended by
    Bruno Martini, he went past a couple of defenders with some nice
    dribblings before he drove home a beautiful winner.
    AJA tried hard to go level, but our defence held on to a good victory
    to the cheer of a good crowd at Parc Lescure. Girondins are now really
    in the race for an UEFA Cup place. Gaetan Huard had once again a good
    game and saved on some really hot AJA efforts. On Wednesday, it's time
    for Bordeaux-Toulouse to replay the match which originally ended 1-0 with
    a goal by Bixente Lizarazu on an indirect free kick which was taken from
    the wrong spot. Girondins will certainly try to get some more goals this
    time while TFC will came for a point or maybe a breakaway goal.

Stade Malherbe Caen-C-B-N    0         Paris-Saint-Germain FC        2
                                            Weah '55
                                            Sassus '85
    (Played the 22nd)
    The Canal+ Match of the Week saw Malherbistes dominating the first half
    entirely with Xavier Gravelaine playing excellently. He had the chance of
    the half when he realized that Bernard Lama had left his goal and sent
    a magniificent lob from 35 meters towards the empty goal, but Lama came
    back in time to boost the ball over the crossbar. Instead, the visitors
    scored against the run of the play when the home defence failed to
    clear a corner and Valdo put Georges Weah clean through and the Liberian
    striker sent a volley behind Philippe Montanier in the Caen goal.
    This shock goal stopped Caen from controlling the match and they never
    really got back to their play and Jean-Luc Sasuss headed home another
    corner with just five minutes to go.

Lille OSC                    1         US Valenciennes-Anzin         2
    N'Diaye '46                             Fernier '?
                                            Gohel '?
    Another Nordistes derby saw the newly promoted VA beat Lille and put
    them back into troubles. Thierry Fernier, the top scorer for Girondins
    last season, he got his first for the Nordiste side in the first half
    whil e Lille went level just after the break with a goal by Samba N'Diaye.
    The guests struck back when Jorge Burruchaga sent a cross from the left
    which found Wilfried Gohel who caught the winner.

Olympique de Marseille       2         Olympique Lyonnais            1
    Voeller '?                              Billong '27
    Voeller '?
    L'Oheme continue in their inconsistent form - winning at home and losing
    on the road. Rudi Voeller scored the first, but L'Ohele wanted to stay in
    the game and Romarin Billong scored the leveller midways through the
    first half. The German striker restored the lead late in the game when
    he got the ball from sub Jean-Christophe Thomas and OM got both points
    at Velodrome.

AS Monaco                    2         Havre AC                      0
    Klinnsmann '?
    Perez '?
    All action at Stade Louis-II was seen in the first half when
    Juergen Klinnsmann and Christian Perez scored to put the home side two
    goals in front at the interval. The second half is not much to comment,
    ASM stay on top with their third victory of the New Year and LHAC got
    their third successful loss in 1993. Two teams in two different
    situations, the guests are now in trouble. Klinnsmann has now scored
    six goals after the Christmas break!

Montpellier Herault SC       1         SC Toulon et du Var           1
    Divert '46                              Eyraud '?-p.k.
    Toulon held on for a scorrless first half, but when Fabrice Divert broke
    the deadlock just after the break with a tremendous strike from 35
    metres which left Luc Borelli without a chance it seemed to be over since
    the home side continued to attack and Toulon were their usual teethless
    self and it was a big surprise when they got the equalizer. Frederic
    Meyrieu break through and Claude Barrabe take him down and the referee
    awarded the Varois a penalty. It was promply converted by Patrick Eyraud
    and Montpellier got a very disappointing draw since it was too little
    time left to get another ball past Borelli. A very good point for
    Toulon and all hope is not over yet.

FC Nantes-Loire-Atlantique   2         Nimes Olympique               0
    Ouedec '2
    Ouedec '79
    Capron (Nantes) red card.
    Nicolas Ouedec is certainly in great form these days, he scored both
    goals to keep Canaries in the title challenge. He got the first after just
    90 seconds and he got another on 79 minutes. Nimes couldn't score despite
    playing one man more after Eddy Capron was red carded early in the second
    half. Nimes are in big troubles, that's for sure.

AS Saint-Etienne             0         RC Lens                       0
    Les Stephanois failed to score against a well disciplind Lens side and
    had to settle for their fifth scoreless draw in seven games! Quite
    remarkable. This was Joseph-Antoine Bell's seventh consecutive clean
    sheet and that means that he has overtaken the record of longest clean
    sheet of the season. The earlier record for this season belonged to
    Bernard Lama of PSG who kept his goal free for 605 minutes early in the
    season. The last man to beat Bell is Franck Silvestre who beat him in the
    56th minute in the match at Bonal in the 15th round. So, the clean sheet
    for Bell is currently up to 664 minutes. Quite good for a 38-years old, eh?

FC Sochaux-Montbeliard       2         FC Metz                       0
    Bazdarevic '?-p.k.
    Henry '?
    Sochaux put Metz back to the ground after their impressive win over OM.
    Mehmed Bazdarevic got the first from the spot and Fabrice Henry settled
    matters with the second before the break. Nothing really happened in the
    second half and Sochaux got both points in great style.

RC Strasbourg                0         Toulouse FC                   0
    Racing are not in the shape they used to have at La Meinau, they failed
    to score against Alain Casanova and his TFC. Toulouse must be pleased
    with another point. If they get the same result at Lescure on Wednesday,
    they will be pleased again. Serge Delmas has converted them from
    relegation candidates to a very solid and disciplind side.
