Updated:2025-12-14 08:32 Views:174The final day of the 2021-22 season saw two top-flight sides secure their respective promotions to Ligue 1, while another maintained its momentum with multiple victories and draws.
In the north of France, Le Douaron secured their promotion to Ligue 1 after a hard-fought victory over Nantes on Sunday. The match was a closely contested affair, but Le Douaron's solid defense kept them in front throughout, thanks to goals from captain Jean-Marc Pujol and substitute Maxime Goussard. With this victory, Le Douaron became only the second team in French history to achieve back-to-back promotions between Ligue 2 and Ligue 1.
Meanwhile, in the south of France, Brest also secured their promotion to Ligue 1 following a 2-0 win over Rennes at Stade de la Beaujoire. Brest's victory came despite facing a tough challenge from Rennes, who had been in fine form recently. However, Brest's defensive solidity and attacking flair proved too much for Rennes, with goals from substitute Yannick Benayoun and forward Adama Traoré securing the win.
On the other hand, in the mid-table battle, there were several matches that saw teams maintain their momentum with multiple victories and draws. For example, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defeated Toulouse 4-1 at Parc des Princes, while Olympique Lyonnais defeated Troyes 2-0 at Gerland. PSG's victory was particularly impressive given their recent struggles in the league, while Lyon's draw against Strasbourg was a testament to their resilience and consistency.
Overall, the 2021-22 season was one of great excitement and drama in French football. Teams like Le Douaron, Brest, and PSG all showed their class and determination, while others like Toulouse, Troyes, and Strasbourg struggled to find their feet. Regardless of their results, however, it is clear that the future looks bright for many of these teams, and we can expect even more exciting action in the coming seasons.
