Lyon thus earned the first defeat after six competitive matches and still has 16 points on his account. To the head of Paris St. Germain, who kept a goalless draw in Marseille even at ten, is already losing 12 points. Nice, on the other hand, moved to third place with 19 points in the incomplete table after the third win in the last four matches.
The guests were led by Ekambi, who helped with two hits to Thursday’s victory over Sparta. The Cameroonian striker has already scored his fourth goal in the last three matches. Lyon Aouar increased the lead in the 68th minute.

Nine minutes before the end, however, Athal returned the home team to play, and after Kadewere was expelled, their pressure intensified. In the 89th minute, after equalizing Emerson with a penalty from Delort, Guessand completed the turn in the third minute of the set time. Despite today’s two goals, Nice still has the best defense in the league, collecting only seven times.
Before Nice, Lens came in second in the table, winning 4: 1 at home over Metami thanks to two Said goals. Ganago and Frankowski added more goals. Only De Preville made his mark as a guest. Lens thus scored the third league victory of the last four matches. Mets remain in the penultimate 19th place with six points.
Monaco also rises up the table, beating Montpellier 3: 1 and winning the highest competition for the fourth time in the last five matches. Coach Nika Kovača’s team led by two goals after 17 minutes thanks to goals by Volland and Ben Yedder. After an hour of play, Martins raised even more. The guests only corrected in the end after the changed penalty of Savanier.
The West French derby between Lorient and Bordeaux ended in a 1: 1 draw. In the end, Rennes won a close victory in the duel with Strasbourg 1: 0 and continues to stay with 18 points at the top of the table.
In a tense match in Marseille, the referee did not recognize both goals for both teams after a video hit due to a tight offside. Messi was closest to the regular goal, but he hit only the crossbar with his head. PSG’s chances for a full score were ruined by Hakimi’s disqualification for a foul on an escaping opponent.
