Dunkerque 0-1 Montpellier result, stats and report

Reims dominated possession and territory but could not find a winner against a Montpellier side who equalised through Yaya Fofana and then had a man sent off. A point each, and Reims will feel they left two on the table.

Pau controlled Dunkerque from the first whistle, with Jessy Benet's penalty and a late Abdoulaye Mbaye header sealing a comfortable 2-0 victory that gave them a well-earned clean sheet at home.

Dunkerque produced a gritty second-half comeback to beat Saint-Étienne 2-1 in Ligue 2, with goals from Khalil Ayari and Souleymane Keita overturning a first-half deficit. It was a result that defied the pre-match evidence completely.

Dunkerque claimed a 2-0 victory at Nancy on Friday evening, with goals from Nehemiah Fernandez and Brandon Bokangu settling the contest despite the visitors being dominated in effort and discipline. Nancy's night unravelled through a red card, two yellows, and a performance that never matched the occasion.

Montpellier controlled everything but the scoreboard, missing three big chances and a penalty as Boulogne's ten men somehow left with a point. This is what a lack of accountability at the sharp end looks like.

Dunkerque controlled 62 per cent of the ball and created the better chances but could not find a winner, as Opa Sangante's first-half goal earned Clermont a point they will take all day long.

Rodez have shipped 13 goals in their last five Ligue 2 matches and have not kept a single clean sheet. Montpellier arrive with a defence that has stayed tight across ten matches. Something has to give.

Nantes have won once in their last six Ligue 2 matches and conceded eleven goals in five home games. Dunkerque arrive with momentum and nothing to fear.
