Today, seven French "Ligue 1" championship matches were played, which further increased the intrigue in the battle for the title of champions.
The championship leaders, the players of "Monaco", lost two very important points in the battle for the first position. The players from Monaco, who reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, failed to beat the 8th placed club "Lens" and played a goalless draw, giving the opportunity for the team of "Lyon", which will play against "Strasbourg" tomorrow, to rise to the first position in case of a victory.
The team of the capital, "P.S.G.", further strengthened their positions in the battle for the champions' title, after a dramatic battle snatching a victory against "Nice" in the very end of the match. The players from Nice were leading until the 80th minute of the match, but then the situation on the field changed and despite playing with ten men, the players of the Paris club snatched a 2-1 victory. Now the capital team is only two points behind Monaco.
Important victories were also won by the teams "Auxerre" and "Sochaux" who are fighting for places in the next season's UEFA Europa League. "Auxerre" defeated the "Metz" club fighting for survival with a score of 2-1, while "Sochaux" won 2-0 against the team of "Guingamp" in 15th place.
Surprisingly, the underdogs of "Ligue 1", the club "Le Mans", added three points to their tally by beating "Toulouse" 2-1. This victory gave hope to "Le Mans" to remain in the highest division of France. It is worth noting that this was only the 5th victory of the club in this season.
