At the first game of the evening of Ligue 1, the leader of the championship "Paris Saint-Germain" demonstrated that the loss suffered in December against "Strasbourg" was just an accident.
The guests from Alsace immediately took the lead after arriving in the capital, but Julian Draxler equalized the score in the 10th minute. Neymar scored before the end of the first half, and Angel Di Maria took advantage of another defensive mistake by the opponents.
Although Stephane Bahoken managed to reduce the lead for "Strasbourg" a little, PSG's attacking leader Edinson Cavani sealed the victory with a brace at the end of the match.
So, Unai Emery's players lifted themselves after the failure in the UEFA Champions League and national championships and maintained a 12-point advantage over "Monaco".
Five more matches were played later in the evening.
In one of them, "Montpellier" lost points to "Guingamp", only managing to equalize the score in the second half through Giovanni Sio.
Meanwhile, one of the pursuers from Southern France, "Rennes", also played a draw with "Caen". This match was more fruitful, with Diafra Sakho scoring a brace. Interestingly, "Caen" failed to convert two penalty kicks, missed by both Ronny Rodelin and Stef Peeters.
"Saint-Etienne" players, on the other hand, won once again and moved closer to the top half of the table. Roberto Beric scored the only goal against "Angers".
