Eight matches were played on Wednesday in the French first division. Although there were many intriguing battles, the central tour meeting took place in Nice, where the local team "Nice" hosted the "Monaco" team. The result of these matches was far from what was expected at the beginning. The hosts scored in the 18th minute with Paul Baysse, and before half an hour passed, Mario Balotelli doubled the lead. The same Balotelli made the difference in the second half. Ultimately, everything was finished by Alassane Plea after Tiemoue Bakayoko's red card. This stunning victory allowed the Nice team to rise to the first place in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, after several poor results, "Lyon" recovered by defeating "Montpellier" 5-1 at home. In this match, the winners were noted twice by Nabil Fekir and Corentin Tolisso, while the fifth goal was scored by Maxwell Cornet.
