Claudio Ranieri, officially debuted at the helm of "Nantes" after being fired from "Leicester City", so high hopes were placed on this club. However, his first match against the "Lille" club did not go well.
The first half promised nothing bad and ended without goals, but all problems started after the break, when in the 48th minute, Junior Alonso sent the ball into the net with a long-range shot.
The "Nantes" players did not find a way through the opponents' defense and further increased their advantage in the middle of the half, converting a penalty from Nicolas De Preville and scoring with Anwar El Ghazi. The match finally ended with a score of 3-0.
In the next match between "Angers" and "Bordeaux", even more goals were scored, with the first one falling as early as the 11th minute. This time, Angelo Fulgini put Anjou ahead.
In the middle of the first half, the Frenchman's shot was answered by Younousse Sankhare, and in the 52nd minute, the "Bordeaux" team turned the tide in favor of Alexandre Mendy. However, playing at home, "Angers" managed to equalize the score at the very end, when goalkeeper Karlo Ekambi rebounded the ball for Baptiste Guillaume to score.
In the evening match, the teams of "Marseille" and "Dijon" took to the field - here everything was equally intense.
Although the course of the match was balanced, the home team managed to overwhelm their opponents at the beginning of the second half. In just a few minutes, Clinton Njie, Florian Thauvin, and Rudi Garcia's pupils became unstoppable. Eventually, Njie scored a brace.
