Week 9 of "le Championnat", played the 3rd and 4th of October 1992

Stade Malherbe Caen-C-B-N    3         Havre AC                      3
    Gravelaine '24                          Rio '21-p.k.
    Dangbeto '40                            Germain '50-o.g.
    Paille '81-p.k.                         Tiehi '60
    (Played the 4th)
    The Normand derby saw sixth goals scored! I'm really surprised, but I
    should have understand that LHAC would score quite a few after my remarks
    in the last article :-) The match turn around several times with LHAC
    scoring the first on a penalty and Malherbistes going to a 2-1 lead
    at the interval. The visitors fighting back in early second half
    and having a 3-2 lead until Stephane Paille level the score on a penalty
    late into the half.

Lille OSC                    0         RC Lens                       0
    One of the Northern Derbies and Lens had as usual the most fans.
    They were also the better side and had the best chance which gave
    Jean-Claude Nadon the chance to make some amazing saves. Both sides
    are poor in scoring goals, so the result wasn't a big surprise.
    Another highlight of the game were when the referee fall early on,
    I don't know the details, but apparently, it wasn't anything serious,
    I don't think he was hit by an object.

Olympique de Marseille       1         AS Monaco                     0
    Deschamps '75
    Att.: 40000
    Le Match de Jour, i.e. the Match of the Day, and of course the crowd
    was large. Both sides came from European play in the midweek and OM were
    the side who attacked from start. Jean-Luc Etorri saved an Abedi Pele
    corner in the third minute and that was the pattern of the match.
    L'Oheme attacked and Etorri made tremendous saves in long strings.
    Monaco had a few very dangerous counter attacks, but the Monaco forwards
    mostly blasted over the goal or just wide. Finally, Didier Deschamps
    broke the deadlock for his first of the season after fine service from
    Spaniard Martin Vazquez. Monaco dropped apart from the top and they have
    a long way to go if they want to chalenge for the title.
    OM play Dinamo Bucharest in the Champions' Cup and Olympiakos play
    Monaco in the CWC... Tapie mentioned that OM will play Real Madrid
    in early November at Parc des Sports in Avignon with the revenues to the
    ? after the strom who killed many people in the Avignon area during the
    week.

Montpellier Herault SC       1         AJ Auxerre                    0
    Pickeu '4
    Auxerre went back to the ground after the amazing 7-1 victory in the UEFA
    Cup on Tuesday. Olivier Pickeu returned to scoring with his fifth of
    the season after just four minutes. Montpellier were the better side
    in the first half and created chances which were denied by Bruno Martini.
    In the second half, Claude Barrabe was the saviour for the home side with
    the guests moving forward, Barrabe made many tremendous saves to deny the
    visitors an aqualizer. Christophe Cocard had once again a good game,
    Divert was dangerous on counterattacks. This was the first victory
    for Montpellier for over a month.

FC Nantes-Loire-Atlantique   1         FC Girondins de Bordeaux      0 :-( :-(
    Ferri '20
    Att.: 27750

    Bordeaux: Huard; Croci, Dogon, Senac, Lizarazu;
              Plancque, Zidane (Daniel '67), Valdeir, Marquet;
              Dugarry, Salaun.
    "Le derby Atlantique", is as usal an interesting match-up, unfortunately
    the wrong team won. Jean-Michel Ferri grabbed the only goal after pass
    from Zoran Vulic on 20 minutes in an entertaining match with many chances
    for both sides. Girondins really need to score goals, we have a serious
    problem with it and since we still conceed goals, even if they aren't
    many, we will not have much success if this continues... We need a point
    against OM on Wednesday to stay in contention for a UEFA Cup place!

Paris-Saint-Germain FC       5         FC Metz                       1
    Weah                                    Chaouch
    Weah
    Ginola
    Calderaro
    Bravo
    (Played the 4th)
    PSG are now formally in the second round of the UEFA Cup with the two year
    ban of PAOK from all UEFA competitions. The home side celebrated with
    scoring five goals which they haven't done earlier this season. Georges
    Weah grabbed two while Ex-Metzin Francois Calderaro, David Ginola
    and Daniel Bravo got the others. Mohamed Chaouch scored the consolidation
    goal which was the fiftth of the season for the Morccian. Weah is now
    the best scorer with six. The Parisians remain top of the league,
    of course and look forward to the clash with Napoli...

AS Saint-Etienne             0         Olympique Lyonnais            0
    Att.: 41000
    Probably the most classic derby in France was played at Geoffroy-Guichard
    with a crowd of over 40K. Lubomir Moravcik was once again remarkable
    with creating lots of chances for the Greens, Gilles Rousset had a good
    game and held his clean sheet. At the other end, Joseph-Antoine Bell had
    also a good game denying Lyon goals on counter attacks. So, it ended
    up Bell 0, Rousset 0 :-)

FC Sochaux-Montbeliard       2         SC Toulon et du Var           1
    Clement '75                             Collot '11
    Robert '?
    Well, Toulon scored one of their few goals already in the 11th on their
    first chance! Patrick Collot scored from inside the area. Otherwise,
    it was as usual Luc Borelli who saved his team. In the 19th minute,
    Patrice Garande blow a golden chance, Rabat fouled a Sochaux player in
    the box. Luc Borelli saved the penalty from Garande and he looked to save
    two points for his team again with taking all Sochaux offered him which
    was quite much. Toulon could have scored a second on a counter attack.
    Instead Benjamin Clement levelled the score fifteen minutes from time
    and David Robert snatched the winner before the match was over. Tough luck
    for Toulon who are back in troulbe.

RC Strasbourg                1         Nimes Olympique               1
    Lebouef '50                             Monczuk '76
    This match at La Meinau featured Racing against Nimes to make the story
    short. Perez had an excellent game and made too many tremendous saves to
    count them all. Finally, Franck Leboeuf thundered home a superb freekick
    early in the secon dhalf, they failed to scer a second with the marvellous
    Lionel Perez continuing to deny them more goals. Instead, Ex-Strasbourgois,
    Didier Monczuk scored the equalizer within fifteen minutes of the whistle.
    Disappointing for Strasbourg, happy news for the Gardois.

US Valenciennes-Anzin        1         Toulouse FC                   1
    Burruchaga '45-p.k.                     Oosterveer '69-o.g.
    A very important match for the cellar. VA had most of the play and
    sub goalie Lafon had to make some saves, he substituted Olivier Pedemas
    after one minute! When Pedemas was injured. Bernard Ferrer forced
    Sylvain Matrisciano to push the ball over the bar, an excellent save
    by the Ex-Nancy keeper... Jean-Francois Hernandez gave the home side
    a penalty seconds from the interval after a foul on Glassman and
    Argentine Jorge Burruchaga slotted home from the spot. TFC  got a
    goal or rather an own goal by Ex-Rennais Oosterveer in the middle of
    the second half and the matched ended in a draw disappointing for both.
    Kalman Kovacs could have given the home side both points, but failed.
