Play another seven French championship matches. For the second time in a row, the Monaco footballers suffered a defeat. Over the weekend, defending champions "Monaco" lost to the league leaders "Paris Saint-Germain", who were defending their championship title. The "Monegasques" had to admit defeat to "Nantes". The match was evenly matched, but Monaco, who failed to create any chances, let in a long-range shot from Lima Schon. After that, Claudio Ranieri's team pushed their opponents to fourth place. However, "Lyon," also with the same points, also suffered defeat against "Lille," fighting for survival. Thiago Mendes and Ezequiel Ponce led "Lille" to victory. With the score at 2-1, Nabil Fekir missed a penalty in the 11th minute, and Maxwell Cornet also failed to take advantage of a good opportunity in the 85th minute. "Marseille" climbed to second place in the tournament standings, defeating the absolute underdog "Metz" away. Florian Thauvin and Luiz Gustavo scored before halftime, and Lucas Ocampos' goal in the 71st minute secured the port city team's victory. In the final clash, PSG narrowly defeated "Troyes," who struggled to keep up, despite usually dominating the field. At the end of the first half, an interesting episode occurred - Edinson Cavani, provoked by the opponent's mistake in the penalty area, was about to take an 11-meter penalty kick when Neymar intervened, and when the Brazilian failed, he apologized. However, the world's most expensive footballer led Parisians to victory in the 73rd minute when Cavani followed his example and doubled the lead. After 15 rounds, Unai Emery's team has already opened up a lead of over 10 points from their closest pursuers.
