As usual, national championship matches are played on weekends. Today, five top French league matches have ended. The tournament table leader, Marseille's "Olympique", strengthened their positions with a 2-1 away win against "Caen" eleven. Thanks to Andre-Pierre Gignac's goal in the final minutes, the guests extended their lead by five points from yesterday's defeated "Bordeaux". "Lille" and "Lyon" will clash tomorrow for the opportunity to rise to second place. In another match, "Lorient" beat "Bastia" 2-0, who are at the bottom of the tournament table, while "Rennes" defeated "Lens" with the same margin. A surprising outcome was recorded in the match between "Evian" and "Metz". If they had won, the away players could have risen to second place, but a 3-0 victory was celebrated by the hosts who have been languishing at the bottom of the table for several rounds. Today's match also ended in a draw between "Montpellier" and "Nice", both having 14 points.
