PARIS (AP) — Nantes slid closer to relegation after drawing at fellow struggler Auxerre 0-0 in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Nantes was in 17th place and five points behind Auxerre in 16th, which is the promotion-relegation playoff spot.

Although Nantes has played one game less than Auxerre its game in hand is at leader Paris Saint-Germain. In Saturday's other game, Rennes maintained its push for a Champions League place with a 2-1 home win over Angers. Victory moved Rennes up to fifth place, with the top three earning an automatic spot in the Champions League and the side in fourth spot entering qualifying. An own goal gave Rennes an early lead and Jordan forward Mousa Al-Tamari latched onto a long ball to lob the goalkeeper in the 25th minute. Angers pulled a goal back midway into the second half through 18-year-old forward Peter Prosper.
Title clash postponed
