Lille booed off after squandering 3-0 lead

PARIS (Reuters) - Third from bottom Sochaux staged a spectacular comeback on Friday, scoring three goals in the last 11 minutes to earn a 3-3 Ligue 1 draw and dent Lille's chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League. Two goals from Salomon Kalou and one by Marko Basa put the home team 3-0 up inside 48 minutes. Lille, the 2011 champions, were then booed off the pitch after Sochaux hit back with a double from Vincent Nogueira and a goal by Cedric Kante - all three efforts coming from free kicks.

Football: Saint-Etienne reluctant to get off their cloud

After the euphoria of winning their first major trophy in 32 years, Saint-Etienne are now on the brink of a maiden qualification for the Champions League as they travel to arch rivals Lyon on Sunday for a derby crunch encounter. The 'Green Devils,' who almost became the first French club to win the European Cup in 1976 when they were beaten 1-0 by a Bayern Munich side that featured Franz Beckenbauer, Karl-Heinze Rummenigge and Gerd Muller, are two points behind third-placed Lyon with five matches to play.

PSG on verge of first Ligue 1 title in 19 years

PARIS (Reuters) - Runaway leaders Paris St Germain will move to the brink of their first Ligue 1 title since 1994 if they win at fifth from bottom Evian Thonon Gaillard on Sunday. Victory for the wealthy Qatari-owned club would keep them at least nine points clear with just four games to play. PSG also have a massive goal-difference advantage over second-placed Olympique Marseille, who travel to Lorient on Saturday, and third-placed Olympique Lyon who host St Etienne on Sunday.
