Pau FC holds the right to self-determination in the relegation race

Pau held the ball less in the early morning match on May 27, Hanoi time, but opened the scoring thanks to Yanis Begraoui's 11m penalty in the 11th minute. Eight minutes later, Remy Boissier equalized for Rodez.

However, Mayron George and Begraoui continued to score in the 26th and 41st minutes to help Pau end the first half with a score of 3-1. The effort in the remaining time was only enough to help Rodez shorten the gap to one goal thanks to Wilitty Younoussa in the 74th minute.

Winning the final 3-2, Pau rose to 15th with 44 points. Behind them are Rodez and Laval with one point less.

In the Ligue 2 season 2022-2023, the last four teams, from 17th to 20th, will be relegated. Before the final round, Niort was in the book with 28 points and Nimes - the new team with 33 points - was definitely relegated.

The relegation race group currently has six teams, ranked from 13 to 18 respectively Valenciennes and FC Annecy - 45 points, Pau - 44 points, Rodez and Laval - 43 points, Dijon - 42 points. With this situation, coach Didier Tholot's team is in control of the relegation race.

In the final round on June 3, Pau was kicked at home to welcome the fifth-ranked team Caen. The team suffered when captain defender Antoine Batisse was suspended for receiving a red card in the win over Rodez.

Pau is sure to stay relegated if he wins against Caen. In the event of a draw, Pau must hope in the match at the same time that two of the three teams Rodez, Laval and Dijon do not win. If he loses, Pau has to wait for two of the three teams mentioned above to receive the same result.

With midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai, the last match he played for the first team of Pau FC was 0-1 Laval on February 18. He then played seven matches for the Pau B team in the French 5th division. Quang Hai played a total of 13 matches for the first team since the beginning of the season with 268 minutes, scoring one goal.
