"Ligue 1": five hard-fought matches with minimal wins

In France, the first round of the “Ligue 1“ matches continues. Last night's matches were all intense and all victories were secured by a minimal difference. In the opening day matches, “Bordeaux“ led against “Saint Etienne“ by three goals, but the opponents managed to score twice at the end of the match and returned to the game, however, they failed to save at least a point - the game ended with a 3-2 victory for the hosts. The scenario of the match between “Caen“ and “Lorient“ unfolded completely differently. There, the visiting team of “Lorient“ took the lead 2-0 in the 19th minute, but in the middle of the first half, they received a red card, which ultimately cost them three goals into their net, leaving their team without points. “Lille“ also failed to maintain their lead, scoring twice against the opponents, but also suffered a defeat 2-3 against “Metz“. In other matches, the teams did not delight the audience with goals - “Nantes“ won 1-0 against “Dijon“ on the road, and “Montpellier“ defeated “Angers“ at home with the same result.
