Evian win promotion to Ligue 1
Posted Saturday, May 21, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
PARIS, May 20 (Reuters) - Evian won promotion from France’s Ligue 2 following a 2-1 victory at 10-man Stade Reims on Friday.
Evian, who now have 64 points with one match left, cannot finish outside the top three after a late Cedric Cambon strike gave them the three points.
Evian, sponsored by fresh food group Danone, had won promotion from National (third division) last season and have never played in the top flight.
Second-placed Dijon, who drew 1-1 at home against Boulogne-sur-Mer, are on 62 points and look set to join Evian in Ligue 1 as they lead fourth-placed Le Mans by three points with a much better goal difference (plus 16 to plus 10).
Arles-Avignon and RC Lens have already been relegated from Ligue 1.
