Three matches of the French championship were played. However, one more was supposed to take place, but the clash between "Bastia" and "Nantes" was postponed.
The team occupying the third place, "Nice", achieved an important victory, preventing yesterday dramatically scoring three points "Paris Saint-Germain" from running ahead.
The port city football players forced a similarly strong "Saint-Etienne" team to surrender with a minimal result. The outcome of these matches was determined by Wylan Cyprien's long-range strike in the seventh minute.
"Lyon", in fourth position, was already allowed to break away from the first trio, but due to the loss of "Saint-Etienne", they improved their situation.
The team led by Bruno Genesio crushed "Nancy" at home, and it was Alexandre Lacazette who led them to victory with two assists and one goal. Before scoring himself, he created chances for Mathieu Valbuena and Nabil Fekir, with the author of the final precise strike being Memphis Depay.
Finally, in the last evening duel, "Marseille" scored three points, sitting in seventh place. This club defeated "Guingamp" thanks to goals from Bafetimbi Gomis and Dimitri Payet.
