On Saturday evening, the entire 19th round of the French championship was played.
The leader of the tournament, "Nice", not only failed to beat the "Bordeaux" club as visitors, but also lost several important players at the end of the match.
In the final minutes of the match, Mario Balotelli received a red card for a rough tackle before his very eyes, and towards the end, after a scuffle, Younes Belhanda was also sent off.
Both Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco can be happy with both the disqualification of these players and the results.
The defending champions, coached by Unai Emery, demolished "Lorient" 5-0 at home and reduced the gap from the leaders to 5 points.
Meanwhile, in second place, "Monaco", with goals from Radamel Falcao and Tiemoue Bakayoko, forced "Caen" to surrender. Now Monaco is separated from "Nice" by just two points.
Important victories were also achieved by "Lyon" in fourth place and "Marseille". The latter team drew with "Guingamp", who could not beat the "Metz" club.
