Three more matches were played in the "Ligue 1" championship. The first of them was a tough battle between the neighbors in the tournament table "Nice" and "Nantes". Action was not lacking from the very first minutes, as shortly after the start of the match, the South of France team was led forward by Dante, and shortly after, good opportunities were missed by Alassane Plea and Emiliano Sala. However, the latter smiled with luck, as he had the opportunity to step up to the penalty spot when Patrick Burner fouled Andrei Girotto in the penalty area. After this episode, the game slowed down and both teams had to wait for new opportunities until the last moments of the match. Then "Nantes" was saved from defeat by goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu. Sala, in turn, missed the goal from a good position in the fifth added minute of stoppage time. So, this match ended in a 1-1 draw. A little later, at home, "Lille" hosted "Lyon" who occupied the fourth place. The guests have recently been struggling, but started the match excellently. Bruno Genesio's players were led by Bertrand Traore before the end of the first half. The winger from London's "Chelsea" doubled the lead for "Lyon" just before half-time and then the victory of this club raised almost no doubts. However, the hosts did not give up and took the initiative, and Nicolas Pepe reduced their deficit in the 65th minute. Mariano Diaz could have brought the two-goal lead back to the guests shortly after, but his shot hit the crossbar. Taking advantage of this, Luiz Araujo sent a long shot and equalized the score. Then luck smiled on the players of "Lille" once again, as Diaz rattled the crossbar again. Finally, they managed to withstand and secure an important point, as "Lyon" fell by six points from the top three. The recent changes in the tournament table were taken care of by "Marseille", who broke the resistance of "Bordeaux" in front of their own fans. In this match, only the port city team had dangerous opportunities to score, which granted them the victory marked by a corner kick by Florian Thauvin.
