Today was the first match of the 34th French championship, which is also the central duel of the whole week. The footballers of "Lyon" and "Nice" who are fighting for the medals met in it. In a very fierce battle, the guests from the port city were the first to break through, and Valere Germain scored a header goal after Alassane Plea's pass. This happened in the 18th minute, and after playing just six minutes, the Lyon team was left with ten players. Maxwell Cornet earned a red card when he clashed with the opponents' goalkeeper in the penalty area fighting for the ball. After this episode, the match proceeded for a long time on equal terms and both teams had opportunities. An interesting incident occurred around the 70th minute when shredded newspapers poured onto the pitch. While the field was being cleared, the match had to be stopped, so the referee eventually added 8 minutes of additional playing time. The break worked in favor of the hosts, who managed to equalize the score. In this episode, Alexandre Lacazette reacted perfectly to Mathieu Valbuena's shot at the crossbar. The scoreboard ultimately showed a draw, so at least until tomorrow the situation in the league table remains unchanged. However, this result is great news for this round, as many points were gained by "Lyon", who were able to match "Monaco" and "Nice" while competing against "Rennes".
