Montpellier
Grenoble Foot 38
Montpellier secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Grenoble Foot 38 in what proved to be a tale of two halves at the Stade de la Mosson. The hosts dominated possession with 61% of the ball and made their territorial advantage count through clinical finishing from Enzo Molebe's 25th-minute opener and Julien Laporte's 71st-minute strike. Despite Grenoble creating more dangerous attacks (34 vs 32) and registering 13 shots to Montpellier's 11, they struggled to convert their chances until substitute Ugo Bonnet's 90th-minute consolation goal set up a nervy finish. The victory maintains Montpellier's strong position in the Ligue 2 promotion race, while Grenoble's inability to capitalize on their attacking threat leaves them with regrets despite a spirited performance that saw them create two big chances compared to Montpellier's one.
