Three more matches of the 17th round of the French championship were played.
The "Lyon" team at home defeated the neighbor of the tournament table "Rennes" and surpassed them, moving up to fourth place in the tournament table.
This match was really evenly matched, and the visitors even made more shots on goal and into their area, but the only goal in the first half was scored by Mathieu Valbuena.
At another stadium, "Saint-Etienne" also won with a minimal advantage against "Guingamp". The author of the winning goal here was Romain Hamouma.
Finally, in the evening, the central match of the round took place between "Paris Saint-Germain" and the leader of the tournament table "Nice".
Despite playing away, the coastal city footballers did not back down from the titled opponents and after the first half led by a two-goal margin. They scored with an excellent penalty kick by Wylan Cyprien and Alassane Plea.
However, after the break, Parisians pressed their opponents and Edinson Cavani scored twice, widening the gap.
A draw allows for celebration for "Monaco", who yesterday won and approached "Nice" to just one point, while increasing their lead over PSG to three points.
Results:
"Lyon" 1 - 0 "Rennes"
"Saint-Etienne" 1 - 0 "Guingamp"
"Paris Saint-Germain" 2 - 2 "Nice"
