On an unusual day of the week, Tuesday, the seventeenth round of the French championship began. The "Marseille" club, which has been leading the tournament table for a long time, may relinquish the leader position to PSG players tomorrow. The seaside team could not defeat the league average team "Lorient" in their away game. Although Marcelo Bielsa's team took the lead in the 33rd minute after Dimitri Payet's strike, Jordan Ayew soon converted a penalty from 11 meters. Not scoring any more goals during the remaining time, the scoreboard showed a 1-1 draw. The country's vice champion "Monaco" at least climbed to eighth place until tomorrow. Despite playing almost an hour with ten men after Wallace was sent off, Leonardo Jardim's team managed to defeat "Lens" 2-0 at home. The mid-table teams "Nantes" and "Toulouse" also entered the battle. The latter team won three points in the away game. Results: "Lorient" 1 - 1 "Marseille" [0-1] 33' Dimitri Payet [1-1] 37' Jordan Ayew (from the penalty spot) "Nantes" 1 - 2 "Toulouse" [0-1] 24' Issiaga Sylla [1-1] 64' Jordan Veretout (from the penalty spot) [1-2] 85' Martin Braithwaite "Monaco" 2 - 0 "Lens" 35' Wallace sent off [1-0] 64' Dimitar Berbatov (from the penalty spot) 70' Pierrick Valdivia missed penalty [2-0] 90' Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco
