Week 21 of "le Championnat", played the 16th of January 1992

AJ Auxerre                   1         FC Nantes-Loire-Atlantique    1
    Prunier '63                             Ouedec '29
    The young Canaries took the lead at Abbb-Deschamps, but the home side
    struck back with a strong header at the second post by William Prunier.
    Afterwards, AJA were going for a winner, but failed to get it.

Havre AC                     0         RC Lens                       1
                                            Sikora '38
    LHAC are now really in trouble since Eric Sikora gave an excellently
    playing Lens side the winner just before the break. Bruno Roux had the
    best chance to equalize, but RCL held on to two points.

Lille OSC                    0         Montpellier Herault SC        0
    No surprise hre, a scoreless draw was well expected.

Olympique Lyonnais           3         FC Sochaux-Montbeliard        1
    Garde '2                                Prat '55
    Garde '37
    Billong '59
    Remy Garde put Lyon on track for one of their unusual victories
    with a very early goal. He added a second before the break withh Sochaux
    pulling one back just after the break through Lionel Prat.
    Billong restored the two goals lead and OL got two points.

FC Metz                      2         Olympique de Marseille        1
    Zitelli '11                            Sauzee '78
    Kubik '40-p.k.
    L'Oheme seem to be inconsistent in the new year! David Zitelli put
    the home side in front early on and Ljubos Kubik added a second from
    the spot just before the break. Franck Sauzee fired home a free kick from
    25 metres to pull one back thirteen minutes from time and OM attacked
    furiously the last ten to no avail. Two valuable points for Metz and
    Marseille are three points behind.

Nimes Olympique              0         AS Monaco                     1
                                            Klinnsmann '37
    Nimes are in big need of points and here they got nothing since Monaco
    kept their lead with a first half goal by Juergen Klinnsmann.
    That was all to be Saturday night in Nimes, the home side need to
    do something drastical to lift them up.

Paris-Saint-Germain FC       1         RC Strasbourg                 1
    Roche '88                               Farina '69
    PSG disappointed their fans heavily with not beating Racing 4-0 as they did
    in Strasbourg. Instead, Franck Farina sent a superb shot into the roof of
    the net midways through the second half. Alain Roche levelled the score
    with a header on a Valdo corner with just five minutes to go.
    A good show by Racing to say the least.

SC Toulon et du Var          0         FC Girondins de Bordeaux      0 :-(
    Bordeaux: Huard (6), Dogon (6), Senac (6), Santos (4), Lizarazu (5),
              Guerit (5), Lucas (5), Zidane (5), Marquet (6), Dugarry (6),
              Valdeir (4).
    Guerit (Bordeaux) red card.
    Girondins failed to beat Luc Borelli at Mayol to sent me disappointed
    to bed. Otherwise, I don't know much of the sad thing. Eric Guerit
    got marching orders for protest, late in the game.

Toulouse FC                  0         AS Saint-Etienne              0
    Another scoreless draw here when the attack failed to beat two excellent
    goalies.

US Valenciennes-Anzin        3         Stade Malherbe Caen-C-B-N     2
    Kovacs '12                              Gravelaine '43
    Gohel '16                               Garcia '77
    Kovacs '83
    Les Malherbistes were once again involved in a high scoring
    affair. Xavier Gravelaine scored their first half goal while Kalman Kovacs
    and Wilfried Gohel put VA in front at the break. Clement Garcia blasted
    home a Gravelaine cross to level the score thirteen minutes from time.
    Though, Kovacs grabbed the winner six minutes later. He was Man of the
    Match since he even hit the post on a Gohel set-up.
