Annecy – Rodez

Annecy secured a comfortable 2‑0 victory at home, extending their run of three wins this season and pushing them up to fourth place with ten points, edging ahead of the chase with a narrow +1 goal difference. The hosts’ defence held firm, limiting Rode Rodez to none and preserving their modest defensive record of seven goals conceded. Rodez, now sitting eleventh with seven points, remain in the relegation‑watch zone after their third loss, having slipped to a negative goal difference despite scoring eleven times. The result also settled the head‑to‑head between the two clubs this campaign, giving Annecy the sole win of the season‑long rivalry.
