Ligue 1 Re-Cap:-: Gazelec seal historic first win

It was a day of history in Ligue 1 as Gazelec Ajaccio
tackled red-hot Nice.

Gazelec Ajaccio picked up their first Ligue 1 win at the 11th time
of asking, ending Nice's four-match winning run with a 3-1
triumph in Corsica.

Hatem Ben Arfa had inspired Nice's surge in form, taking them
up to sixth in the table, but they looked bereft of ideas against
Gazelec.

Gregory Pujol got the minnows off to a dream start, scoring
inside the first minute.

Though Gazelec captain Roderic Filippi could only turn Ricardo
Pereira's cross into his own net 10 minutes later, he made
amends in the best possible way just after the half-hour,
restoring the hosts' lead with a towering header from Damjan
Djokovic's corner.

Djokovic himself gave Gazelec a two-goal cushion shortly
before the interval, and it proved enough to make history as Nice
failed to muster a response after the break - GFC substitute
Jerome Le Moigne's late red card doing little to dampen the
party atmosphere as Thierry Laurey's men clambered off the
foot of the table.

Paris Saint-Germain will have the chance to open up a seven-
point lead at the top after second-placed Angers drew 0-0 at
home to Guingamp.

Breton rivals Lorient and Rennes played out a 1-1 draw, while
Montpellier registered their second win of the Ligue 1 season
courtesy of a 2-0 success against Bastia.
