On Tuesday and Wednesday, matches of the 23rd round of the French "Ligue 1" championship were played, after which the situation in the league table remained almost unchanged.
The championship leader "Lyon" club won another victory, beating "Rennes" 2-1 at home and showing that the loss to "Lille" in the last round was just a small stumble. It is worth mentioning that both goals were scored by "Lyon" one after another in two minutes at the end of the first half.
In the last round, after defeating "Lyon" and reducing the gap to 3 points, the "Lille" players, who were in second place on Wednesday, could not beat Edgaras Jankauskas' "Nice" and fell behind the leaders again. "Nice" scored the equalizer in injury time. The Lithuanian national team forward played in these matches from the 58th minute.
The "Marseille" club, which had been playing without stumbling until this round this year, experienced failure in this round, losing 0-2 at home to "Sochaux" on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the "Auxerre" team continues to play successfully this season, defeating "Bastia" 4-1 this time. It is worth mentioning that the first goal in these matches was scored and "Bastia" players went ahead, later having to watch the ball fly into their goal 4 times.
Paris "P.S.G" club continues to play surprisingly steadily this season, ending their match with "Istres" in a draw as usual. For the capital team, this was already the 12th draw this season and based on this indicator, "P.S.G" can be compared to the Italian football giant "Inter".
A match between local "Strasbourg" and "Monaco" in Strasbourg was postponed due to a frozen pitch.
