In the latest round of matches in France's top-flight football league, there was some unexpected drama as two teams were relegated from the Ligue 1 table.
In the first match of the day, Ajaccio faced off against fellow relegation-threatened team Clermont. The match ended with a shock result for both teams - Ajaccio won 0-2 to clinch their spot in the relegation zone, while Clermont fell to their second consecutive defeat of the season, leaving them just one point above the bottom three.
The second match of the day saw another team face the prospect of being relegated, as Angers lost 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain. This result means that Angers will join Ajaccio and Clermont in the French second division next season.
Both Ajaccio and Angers had already secured their place in the second tier before this weekend, but they have been dealt a blow by their performances in recent weeks. Ajaccio had previously been one of the form teams in the league, but their struggles in recent games have seen them drop down to the bottom of the table.
Angers, on the other hand, had been performing well in the early part of the season, but their recent run of defeats has left them struggling for survival in the top flight.
This week's results have been a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football and the importance of consistency in maintaining a strong position in the league. Both Ajaccio and Angers will now need to focus on improving their performances if they want to avoid the drop to the French second division next season.
