On the second day of the fifth round of battles in the French championship, there were intense games. In the earlier game, the country's vice-champion "Lyon" failed to beat the league's middle-of-the-road team "Lille" at home. Without their attacking leader Alexandre Lacazette, the team led by Hubert Fournier could not break through the opponents' defense and the match ended goalless. Meanwhile, in the city of Montpellier, the local footballers hosted "Saint-Etienne". The fans gathered at the stadium witnessed a very fierce battle, but the home team could not secure the points. In the first half, the visitors were led by Mustapha Biyalis Sallas, and an hour into the game, their lead was doubled by Nolan Roux. As it turned out later, the latter's goal was decisive, as Joris Marveaux was able to score for the team at the end of the match. After today's draws, the "Lyon" team is in sixth place, while "Saint-Etienne" climbed to third place temporarily after the victory. The "Montpellier" team, somewhat surprisingly, has only managed to secure one point so far. Results: "Lyon" 0 - 0 "Lille" "Lorient" 3 - 1 "Angers" "Montpellier" 1 - 2 "Saint-Etienne" "Nice" 0 - 1 "Guingamp" "Toulouse" 2 - 2 "Reims" "Troyes" 1 - 3 "Caen"
