On Sunday, the remaining four matches of the French football championship "Ligue 1" 8th round were played, in which all four victories were achieved by the home teams.
Another victory this season was unexpectedly achieved by the "Nancy" team, who now holds the third place in the championship after 8 rounds, despite being considered an average team before the season started. This time, the club that was promoted to "Ligue 1" just last season defeated the "Lens" team 2-1 at home. Benjamin Gavanon and David Sauget scored goals for "Nancy" in the 26th and 59th minutes respectively, while Jussie Ferreira scored for the visitors in the 73rd minute.
After a few unsuccessful matches, the "Marseille" club, who withdrew from the UEFA Europa League this week, achieved an important victory by defeating "Toulouse" 3-0. The guests managed to hold on until the 44th minute at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille, but then Marseille defender Taye Taiwo managed to beat the Toulouse goalkeeper. One minute later, Habib Bamogo sent the ball into Toulouse's net for the second time, and the teams went into halftime with a 2-0 score. Just at the beginning of the second half, Lorik Cana scored another goal for Marseille. After this goal, the visitors could not recover, and the match ended.
The "Saint-Etienne" club achieved a hard-fought victory against Paris "P.S.G" team by winning 1-0 on Sunday. The only goal of the match was scored by the Brazilian player Ilan in the 38th minute. With this victory, the Saint-Etienne club secured the 4th position in the "Ligue 1" with 14 points after 8 rounds.
After the unexpected defeat in the previous round against Marseille, it seems that the "Nantes" club is back on the losing path. This time, Nantes' footballers suffered a 1-0 defeat against "Auxerre" away. Daniel Gheorghe Niculae scored the only goal of the match in the 39th minute.
