Today there were seven matches of the French championship. "Ligue 1" fans witnessed not only one clash between direct rivals for medals.
The clash between "Monaco" and "Nice", holding the second and third places respectively, was unpredictable. The teams exchanged dangerous opportunities from the very first minutes, but failed to score.
Immediately after the break, playing at home, Leonardo Jardim's team was left with ten men as Nabil Dirar was sent off from the field.
Nevertheless, the only goal of the match was scored by "Monaco", when Tiemoue Bakayoko found the net in the 81st minute after Joao Moutinho's penalty kick.
In another match, last season's vice-champion "Lyon" defeated fourth-placed newcomer "Angers" with a score of 3-0, reducing the gap to one point.
The winners scored excellent goals through Christophe Jallet, Rachid Ghezzal, and Corentin Tolisso.
It is worth mentioning that the hosts played almost the entire match without Thomas Mangani, who was also sent off the field. He received a red card in the sixteenth minute - three minutes after the first accurate shot by the visitors.
