„Montpellier“ wanted to settle everything in the first 25 minutes. Giovanni Sio scored in the 21st minute, and Ellyes Skhiri doubled the score two minutes later.

With a score of 2:0, the game calmed down a bit, but G. Sio scored another goal in the 53rd minute.

In the 87th minute, Ivan Santini reduced the score. After this victory, „Montpellier“ equaled the points with „Rennes“, but the latter has played one fewer match.

„Nantes“ players also suffered a defeat and dropped from sixth place to eighth. „Nantes“ lost 0:3 (0:1) to the „St-Etienne“ team.

Mathieu Debuchy scored for the guests in the 17th minute. After the break, Remi Cabella started to shine. He scored in the 54th and 63rd minutes, making the score already a three-goal difference.
