While the financial situation of Grenoble concern always, the GF 38 offered a nice nose up occupying the seat of the leader after two days disputed. Only Ligue 1 club to win its first two meetings, Grenoble could not start her season best.
Just promoted after 45 years of disgrace, Isérois already winners Sochaux, easily dominated the Rennais and their defence porcelain (7 goals against in a week, all competitions combined). Nicolas Douchez has delayed the deadline by stopping a penalty kick in Grenoble, but Nassim Akrour recorded the only goal of the match on a missile from 35 meters in full skylight, its second execution. The most beautiful but certainly since the beginning of the championship.
Grenoble can especially thank Olympique Lyonnais, unable to win at Lorient (0-0).
The 2nd day was also an occasion for Olympique de Marseille to talk about his attack. As in Rennes, OM has scored 4 goals. But the Velodrome, defence Olympian had no trouble keeping the attacks of Auxerre. Goals signed Niang, Grichting (against his camp), Grandin and Zenden.
