Today the battles of the fourth round of the French championship continued, and a total of six matches were played.
In the first match, last season's vice-champion "Lyon" played away against "Caen" eleven.
Despite playing without leader Alexandre Lacazette, the guests dictated their conditions from the very first minutes, and after Corentino Tolisso's pass, Nabil Fekir led them forward already after 19 minutes. At the end of the first half, Tolisso impressively assisted him again and Fekir doubled the lead for "Lyon".
After nearly an hour of play, the forward solidified his hat-trick, and at the end of the match, he also made an accurate pass to striker Claudio Beauvue, who sent the ball straight into the top far corner of the goal.
After this victory, the Lyon footballers temporarily rose to second place.
A little later, the "Lille" club at home broke the newcomer "GFC Ajaccio" with a minimal result. Sofiane Boufal's goal secured the hosts' victory.
The most productive match was played in Reims, where the local team crushed "Lorient" players with a score of 4-1.
