Week 19 of "le Championnat", played the 18th and 19th of December 1992

AJ Auxerre                   4         Havre AC                      1
    Prunier '45-p.k.                        Moreau '15
    Laslandes '47
    Guerreiro '62
    Laslandes '65-p.k.
    The Auxerre line-up saw quite some changes, Pascal Vahirua returned
    to the squad, but had to leave early. Lilian Laslandes played as
    centre forward while Gerald Baticle played on the midfield.
    LHAC took a surprise lead through Thierry Moreau while Auxerre struggled
    to find th net. Things changed when William Prunier equalized from the
    spot on the stroke of half-time. Two minutes into the second half,
    AJA went ahead when Lilian Laslandes headed home a superb cross from
    Christophe Cocard. Raphael Guerreiro settled matters with the third
    home goal and Laslandes got his double, converting another penalty.
    An excellent debut from the young Aquitainien, this victory lift
    Auxerre to the top of the league and means that they are crowned as
    fall champions. They are ahead on more wins than the second placed team.

Stade Malherbe Caen-C-B-N    3         RC Strasbourg                 0
    Germain '3
    Gravelaine '6
    Dedebant '93
    Racing were taken back to the ground after some great victories home at La
    Meinau lately. The Malherbistes killed the match at Stade Venoix with
    a dream start featuring two home goals in just six minutes. Joel Germain
    was first to hit the net and Xavier Gravelaine got his thirteenth
    of the season a few minutes later. Stephane Dedebant got his first D1
    goal in the dying minutes to finish off an excellent performance by the
    home side.

Lille OSC                    2         Nimes Olympique               2
    Assadourian '15                         Buffat '60
    Tihy '70                                Martel '85
    The match at Grimonprez-Jooris was very important for the cellar and got
    a very uncommon pattern to involve Lille. They struck first by Eric
    Assadourian. When Christophe Buffat equalized it looked to set for a
    draw, but the impossible happened, Lille scored a second goal in one
    match! Really surprising, a goal by Benoit Tihy who recovered the ball and
    lobbbed the poor Lionel Perez. Didier Martel fired home a cross from the
    right to snatch a point for the visitors.

Olympique Lyonnais           0         AS Monaco                     0
    The match at Stade Gerland wasn't boring, chances for both sides.
    Remy Garde hit the crossbar while Youri Djorkaeff and Jerome Gnako could
    have scored for the guests. L'Ohele got their 13th draw of the season.

FC Metz                      1         FC Girondins de Bordeaux      1
    Sechet '47                              Dogon '66-p.k.
    Girondins fielded Philippe Sence in goal replacing Gaetan Huard,
    unfortunately, he didn't got his clean sheet. Jean-Philippe Sechet
    gave Metz a quite surprising lead early in the second half and that
    signalled a good streak of chances for the home side with David Zitelli
    and especially Philippe Chanlot worrying Sence. At last, we got the
    equalizer with a blatant foul by Philippe Fulkinger and Jean-Luc Dogon
    stepped forward to score from the following penalty. A Girondins victory
    would have meant that a top six at cristalized at the top, but not :-(

Montpellier Herault SC       1         FC Sochaux-Montbeliard       0
    Ziober '18
    Excellent work by Fabrice Divert set up Pole Jaczek Ziober for the lone
    goal at Mosson. Stephane Ferrand denied the home side from scoring more
    while Sochaux had trouble creating dangerous chances in front of
    Claude Barrabe.

Paris-Saint-Germain FC       0         Olympique de Marseille        1
                                            Boksic '?
    (Played the 18th)
    The Canal+ match of the week saw PSG losing their second straight match
    and fail to take the chance to clinch the fall title. While OM scored
    the only goal through the inevitable Croat Alen Boksic who really
    scores important goals! L'Oheme are back in the race for sure.

SC Toulon et du Var          2         RC Lens                       2
    Xuereb '1                               Laigle '4
    Anziani '24                             Omam-Biyik '15
    At Mayol all action was seen in the first half, the crowd wasn't at
    the stands before it started, Daniel Xuereb scored his first goal for
    Varois already in the first minute. Les Lensois struck back immediately
    with a goal by Pierre Laigle and Francois Omam-Biyik finished off a
    wonderful cross from Mustapha El Hadaoui to put the visitors in front.
    The disaster was stopped when PhilippE Anziani blasted home a free kick
    to level the score and both sides stay with contact near the bottom.

Toulouse FC                  2         FC Nantes-Loire-Atlantique    0
    Bancarel '3
    Nemecek '8
    Canaries came from a victory in the early serie final while Toulouse had
    lost at Lescure. They recovred excellently here and struck twice in just
    eight minutes. Anthony Bancarel scored the first and Vaclav Nemecek got
    first on a corner to make it two. The young Canaries never really
    recovered from the shock start and got five yellow cards for protests.
    Alain Casanova denied them on the chances they managed to create.

US Valenciennes-Anzin        0         AS Saint-Etienne              0
    The first half was really entertaining while the second half was less
    exciting. Most chances occured in the first half with Stephanois having
    more of the play. The match ended scoreless, though.
