**Final Results: Nantes and Clermont Win, Ajaccio and Angers Lose in Ligue 1 Relegation**
The conclusion to the 2023-24 season of French football saw two teams secure their places back into the top flight while another pair were relegated from Ligue 1.
Nantes, champions of France, secured their spot in Ligue 1 with a convincing 5-1 victory over Nice at Stade de la Beaujoire. The hosts dominated possession throughout the match, creating numerous chances that they ultimately converted into goals. Key contributions came from forward Mathieu Debuchy (two goals), midfielder Kevin Kamara (one goal), and defender Nicolas Pépé (one goal).
Clermont Foot also emerged victorious against Lyon in a hard-fought encounter, securing their second-place finish in the league standings. Lyon, despite playing well, could not overcome Clermont's strong defense, which was led by goalkeeper Benoit Campana. The visitors had several opportunities to score but failed to capitalize on them, leaving them frustrated as they fell short of a crucial point.
On the other side of the table, Ajaccio suffered a disappointing defeat against Bordeaux, dropping them to third place. The home team struggled to find rhythm and consistency during the game, allowing Bordeaux to take control of the match. Despite the loss, Ajaccio still has a chance to climb out of the relegation zone if they can improve their form in future matches.
Angers, who finished bottom of the table, faced a tough challenge when meeting Toulouse. The hosts, despite having the better players on paper, struggled to create any meaningful scoring opportunities. They were unable to break down Toulouse's solid defensive structure, leading to a 1-1 draw that leaves them in the relegation zone.
These results will have significant implications for the remaining fixtures of the season. While Nantes and Clermont move closer to safety, Ajaccio and Angers must work harder to avoid further relegation. The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining the fate of these teams and shaping the final league positions.
As the season comes to an end, it is clear that Ligue 1 is a highly competitive league, with many teams vying for spots in the top four. The outcomes of this weekend's games will undoubtedly impact the rest of the season, and fans across France will continue to watch with anticipation as the final results are announced.
