During the first match of the evening in "Ligue 1", an unexpected result was recorded. The "Strasbourg" football players managed to defeat the leader of the tournament table, "Paris Saint-Germain" at home.
The hosts took the lead in the 13th minute with a goal by Nuno Da Costa, who scored with his head after Dimitri Lienard's lifted penalty kick.
Then, despite dominating the ball control, PSG managed to equalize the score at the end of the first half thanks to Kylian Mbappe, who replaced Edinson Cavani in the attacking line.
However, it seemed that Unai Emery's team would eventually win, but they were unable to capitalize on their chances, and in the 65th minute, Stephane Bahoken scored for Strasbourg.
Then Cavani also had a chance, but PSG couldn't break through the defensive line of their opponents again, even though the referee added an extra nine minutes in the second half.
This was the first failure of the Parisians in France and only the seventh point they lost.
Later in the evening, there were four more matches. In one of them, "Monaco", defending the champion title, managed to win against "Angers" and approached PSG in the title race. However, the "Monegasques" struggled after two failures.
Radamel Falcao scored a header goal in the second minute, but Leonardo Jardim's team had a hard time finding their way to the opponent's goal, and the match ended with just a minimal victory.
Meanwhile, the "Nice" football players finally started to climb out of a huge hole and won for the second time in a row. This time they defeated the outsider "Metz".
This victory was also not easy, as Nolan Roux quickly responded to Alassane Plea's first goal, and the resort team was only able to pull ahead in the second half.
Then a penalty kick was scored by Mario Balotelli, whose shot ended up in the goal after a ricochet, and in the 72nd minute, "Nice" secured the victory with Allan Saint-Maximin's goal.
Lucien Favre's team earned three points and rose to the 12th position.
