"Lyon" beat "Evian" in France, while "Saint Etienne" experienced an unexpected failure.

Today started the 35th round of "Ligue 1" championships and three matches were played. In the first match, "Lyon" club secured victory against "Evian" and regained the leader position, at least for a day, as they now have the same amount of points as "Paris Saint-Germain" who will play tomorrow. Although there was fierce competition throughout all the matches, Hubert Fournier's team managed to settle all matters before halftime. In the 20th minute, defender Clement Grenier, who recently recovered from an injury, scored a goal for the hosts, and the lead was doubled in the 38th minute by this season's top scorer Alexandre Lacazette from the penalty spot. In the other match, the aspiring UEFA Champions League team "Saint Etienne" unexpectedly lost to "Bastia", the mid-table team. The winning goal for the hosts was scored by Floyd Ayite in the final minutes of the second half. Unable to capitalize on their competitors' loss, "Bordeaux" settled for a draw against "Lorient".
