On Wednesday, the matches of the seventeenth round of "Ligue 1" continued. The results were diverse. The third place in the standings was lost by the players of "Bordeaux". They played a goalless draw away against "Metz" and after the victories of "Saint-Etienne" and "Rennes", they dropped to fifth place. However, things could have ended even worse, but Florent Malouda missed a penalty kick at the end of the match. The aforementioned "Saint-Etienne" club also defeated "Montpellier" away. The intense battle ended with a score of 2-0. Moving up to fourth place, "Rennes" won 2-1 away against "Nice". However, both winning teams and "Bordeaux" could still push "Lyon" down a step lower if they earn three points at home against "Reims" tomorrow. Meanwhile, defending champions "Paris Saint-Germain" failed to take advantage of the slip-up of the league leaders "Marseille" and played a draw with "Lille". Although the capital's players dominated in terms of ball possession and scored two goals, one of them was in their own net. The author of this own goal was goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu.
