On the evening the second round of "Ligue 1" began and six matches were played.
In the earliest match, the powerful teams of "Saint Etienne" and "Bordeaux" clashed. As expected, a fierce battle took place on the field, and the outcome of the match was uncertain until the very end.
After playing almost an hour, "Saint Etienne" took the lead through Romain Hamouma after a pass from Fabien Lemoine, and the hosts held the lead for a long time. However, Christophe Galtier's players failed to maintain the lead. As the match was coming to an end, Henri Saivet equalized for the Bordeaux team.
In the other match, last season's runner-up "Lyon" defeated "Guingamp" with a minimal result as the only goal scorer was the team's newcomer Claudio Beauvue.
Also, a productive tie was recorded in the match between "Troyes" and "Nice". The match ended in a 3-3 result.
