Allo chers amis!
Ici le dix-huitieme rapport du foot :-) Results, scorers, comments, fixtures,
standings, second division updates.
Source: France Inter, the first half was very badly heard due to interference
from BBC on 7160 kHz.
Your comments are always appreciated!

Week 18 of "le Championnat", played the 12th of December 1992

FC Girondins de Bordeaux     1         Toulouse FC                   0 :-) :-)
    Lizarazu '87
    Le derby du SudOuest saw Girondins wanting to retrieve some of the
    confidence they lost last week. The home side dominated the match entirely
    without scoring the goals needed. TFC had come to Bordeaux to play out
    a scoreless draw and almost made it. With three minutes to go, Alain
    Casanova picked up a back pass and the referee awarded Girondins an
    inderict free kick at the six meters. It was blasted home by Bixente
    Lizarazu to secure an important victory. The TFC officials entered
    the pitch and didn't want to leave it under heavy protesting.

Havre AC                     2         SC Toulon et du Var           1
    Tiehi '?                                Passi '77
    Tiehi '?
    Ivorien Joel Tiehi was the hero of the match with one goal in each half.
    This was really undeservedly since Toulon had most of the play.
    Franck Passi pulled at last one back after Piveteau gave a rebound on
    an effort by Michel Pineda. LHAC got a lucky win and Toulon dropped to
    last.

RC Lens                      0         Olympique Lyonnais            3
                                            Gava '?
                                            ? '?
                                            Delamontagne '?
    Les Lensois are very inconsistent these days, one week they win
    on the road and the next they lose at home. This was a losing week.
    Franck Gava gave l'Ohele the lead late in the first half. Despite
    heavy pressure from the home side after the break, the visitors scored two
    more goals to grab a good away win at Felix-Bollaert.

Olympique de Marseille       2         US Valenciennes-Anzin         1
    Sauzee '47                              Kovacs '?
    Pele '?
    Att.: 30000
    L'Oheme came from an impressive victory in Champions League on Wednesday
    and went down immediately. Kalman Kovacs broke through to give the
    Nordistes the lead. The home side looked back in the crisis and struggled
    until the interval when they got new inspiration. Franck Sauzee drilled
    home a free kick just two minutes after the break. Abedi Pele was the
    hero for OM when a Sauzee corner went out to him and he volleyed home
    a late winner. Moldovian Igor Dobrovolski made his debut without making
    the headlines. Marseille are still in the race, though.

AS Monaco                    2         FC Metz                       0
    Gnako '17
    Klinnsmann '37
    Pierre (Metz) red card 61st.
    This was a very one-sided match, Monaco took the lead with just another
    goal by Jerome Gnako who is playing excellently at the moment.
    Juergen Klinnsmann made it two after a pass by Brazilian Luis Henrique.
    ASM could have scored more, but didn't. Pascal Pierre got marching orders
    with a foul on Klinnsmann.

FC Nantes-Loire-Atlantique   1         Paris-Saint-Germain FC        0
    Ouedec '31-p.k.
    Att.: 38000
    This was undoubtedly the Match of the Week and also the highlight of the
    season so far! Nicolas Ouedec was the saviour of the night converting
    the lone goal from the spot after being brought down himself by Lama,
    Bernard was very unhappy with the decision and it went worse when the
    referee denied a penalty for Laurent Fournier in the second half.
    Patrick Colleter was apparently glad to be on the parc with another missed
    foul by the referee, according to the commentator. Canaries stay top,
    with Monaco as second and PSG are just third.

Nimes Olympique              1         AJ Auxerre                    2
    Buffat '9                               Martins '37
                                            Martins '65
    Martini (Auxerre) red card.
    Nimes were in big need of points and got the dream start after goal by
    Christophe Buffat. Correntin Martins spoiled the hope of points for the
    home side, he caught the equalizer before the break and slotted a
    free kick into the top corner midways through the second half.
    Minutes later, the referee red carded Bruno Martini for handling outside
    the area, that didn't help the home side.

AS Saint-Etienne             0         Lille OSC                     0
    Les Stephanois had a bad night at Geoffroy-Guichard failing to create
    chances while Joseph-Antoine Bell had luck to save a point for them.
    Actually, the visitors had the best chances, Per Frandsen hitting the
    crossbar, that was the best chance of the match.

FC Sochaux-Montbeliard       1         Stade Malherbe Caen-C-B-N     0
    Robert '?
    Silvestre (Sochaux) red card.
    Paille (Caen) red card.
    Sochaux had lots of chances just lacking the finishing touch. Fortunately
    for them, David Robert scored a second half goal to allow the home side
    taking a victory. Malherbistes were very bleak and never really
    threatened Stephane Ferrand. Two sending offs late in the match,
    Stephane Paille for a foul and Franck Silvestre for two yellow cards.

RC Strasbourg                3         Montpellier Herault SC        1
    Keller '13                              Ferhaoui '38
    Farina '59
    Cobos '?
    Racing got once again a good start at Meinau. Marc Keller opened the
    scoring, otherwise they didn't play as well as last week. Montpellier
    played very well afterwards and it paid off with an equalizer by Kader
    Ferhaoui. Frank Farina put the home side in front when he got first on
    a rebound after a free kick, the Aussie has really been dangerous lately.
    Jose Cobos fired home from 25 metres to sail the game and two more points
    for Racing who are doing very well nowadays!
