As in other powerful championships, there were also interesting duels in the French Championship today. The "Marseille" football players trying to recover from the crisis hosted "Lorient" at home. The Michelo-led team, currently in 17th place, settled for a draw with significantly higher-ranked opponents. In the 21st minute, Michy Batshuayi, who scored his seventh goal of the season, brought the hosts ahead - the sniper cold-bloodedly converted an 11-meter penalty and became the top scorer of "Ligue 1". However, after 15 minutes, Benjamin Moukandjo equalized the result with a precise strike after a wonderful pass from Francois Bellugou, and later neither team managed to score. The local football players in Bordeaux played a goalless draw with "Montpellier", but the great match of Rene redeemed this game. The "Rennes" team was defeated at home by the "Nice" led by Hatem Ben Arfa from England. After Mathieu Bodmer's goal in the 14th minute, the guests took the lead only 1-0 after the first half whistle, but at the beginning of the second half, the aforementioned Ben Arfa scored. Then Mahamane Traore added another goal, and finally after Ben Arfa's pass, "Nice" secured the victory with Said Benrahma. Although Kamil Grosicki managed to score a consolation goal, "Nice" climbed to fifth place and has played one game less than their higher-ranked rivals. Meanwhile, the losers dropped to seventh place. Results: "Marseille" 1 - 1 "Lorient" "Bordeaux" 0 - 0 "Montpellier" "Rennes" 1 - 4 "Nice"
