Racing Lens footballers remain in the hunt for the French Ligue 1 title. In Friday's 33rd-round clash, they secured a 1-0 home victory over FC Nantes, sealing their opponent's relegation to the second tier.

Lens has closed the gap on league leaders Paris Saint-Germain to three points, though the reigning champions have a game in hand. Racing has two matches remaining in the league season, while PSG has three. The two teams are set to clash next Wednesday in Lens in a rescheduled fixture from the 29th round. Lens has already secured second place and a spot in the Champions League group stage.

Nantes is relegated from the top flight after 13 seasons. They currently sit in 17th place, second from bottom, and can no longer catch Auxerre, who occupy the 16th-place playoff spot.
