Yesterday, the 24th round of the French Championship started with a match between "Saint Etienne" and "Lens". In these matches, the team of Christopher Galtier, who are in fourth place in the league table, failed to beat the league's outsider "Lens" at home.
The "Saint Etienne" players, despite leading 2-0, almost suffered a defeat, as Yoann Touzghar scored twice in response to two accurate shots from the hosts, and Pablo Chavarria added another goal. However, the tie was restored by Mevlut Erdinc.
Today, six more matches were played in the "Ligue 1" championship.
"Marseille" in second place played 1-1 away with the team "Rennes", who has not shown any miracles this season. Marcelo Bielsa's team fell behind in the first half after Ola Toivonen's goal, but Lucas Ariel Ocampos equalized in the second half.
In other matches, the "Bordeaux" club celebrated victory thanks to a single accurate shot from Wahbi Khazri, overcoming the resistance of "Evian" away. Bordeaux players moved up to seventh place, overtaking "Montpellier" who lost to "Lille" today.
