Today was supposed to be four matches played in the French league, but in the end only three took place. Due to bad weather on the island of Corsica, the match between "GFC Ajaccio" and "Marseille" had to be postponed.
Nantes lost second place to "Monaco", playing a goalless draw against the local club "Nantes". Leonardo Jardim's team was not superior in this match, so they had to settle for a draw. However, after losing to "Nice", Monaco's advantage over third place remained the same.
"Lyon" players moved into this position. The former vice-champions of last season, who had been in the middle of the table for a long time, defeated the dominant "Paris Saint-Germain" at home. It was PSG's first loss in the "Ligue 1" championship and only the second defeat of the season.
Bruno Genesio's team showed a serious attitude moving forward, scoring in the 13th minute with a goal from Gnaly Maxwell Cornet, with a great assist from Alexandre Lacazette. After this episode, Lyon continued to create dangerous opportunities, until Kevin Trapp was finally beaten by Sergi Darderas.
After the break, PSG started to press their opponents with all their might, and it paid off - already in the 51st minute, they reduced the deficit with a goal from Lucas Moura. However, they could not equalize the score.
Also moving up today was "Caen", who defeated "Saint-Etienne" 2-1 away. The situation from third to 18th place remains highly competitive.
Results:
"Nantes" 0 - 0 "Monaco"
"Saint-Etienne" 1 - 2 "Caen"
"Lyon" 2 - 1 "Paris Saint-Germain"
