The Lensois Openda crunches Toulouse

At the start of the day, Friday, Lens, the dolphin of PSG consolidated its place in the standings by beating Toulouse (3-0).

who had gone four games unbeaten.

PSG shaken up

Still at the top of the standings after the 13th day, Paris regains a five-point lead in Lens, its runner-up. In addition to the “MNM” Messi-Neymar-Mbappé, Carlos Soler scored for PSG, while Troyes found the fault thanks to Mama Baldé (doubled) and Ante Palaversa.

OM crack at the end of the match in Strasbourg

The Marseillais thought they had done the hardest by leading 2-0, thanks to Bamba Dieng (8th) and Issa Kaboré (35th), but they ended up cracking under the pressure of Racing
and an incandescent Stade de la Meinau. Lebo Mothiba (75th) reduced the gap then Kevin Gameiro equalized in added time (90th + 2). A defeat that plunges Marseille into doubt three days before the crucial match against Tottenhamwhile nothing is decided in Pool D of the Champions League.

The beautiful battle of Auxerre

Sunday smiled at Auxerre, winner of Ajaccio in a duel of promoted (1-0). The Auxerrois fought a great battle for the first of their new trainer Christophe Pélissier
a meeting marked by a red card on both sides, but above all by a magical goal from Hamza Sakhi, a long shot in the top corner. “I am satisfied with the result, with the involvement of the group”savored the former coach of Lorient. “It’s only together that we can do great things. But it’s only a step”.

Monaco, very revamped, beats Angers with wear

Monaco, with a very revamped team, got rid of the last Angers (2-0) Sunday afternoon, and thus returned to a victory that had been elusive for four matches. It was therefore four consecutive matches – two in L1, against Clermont 1-1 and Lille 3-4, and two in the Europa League, in Trabzon 0-4 and Ferencvaros 1-1 – that Monaco had not won. An eternity for a team that aims for the podium in L1 and European qualification. The Angevins, deprived of Sofiane Boufal or Diony, hoped to take points so as not to be left behind in the race to maintain. But once again, Gérald Baticle’s men conceded a defeat, the ninth of the season already, after a serious and diligent first period.

Draw for Nantes and Clermont (1-1)

After his heroic victory in the last seconds against Qarabag, Nantes received Clermont at Beaujoire
. Antoine Kombouaré’s men absolutely had to take points after a complicated start to the season and a worrying 15th place in a year with 4 runs. But faced with Clermontois who also play their survival
, the Canaries could not do better than snatch a draw. Borges opened the scoring for the visitors (54th) before Mostafa Mohamed equalized (73rd). A parity score that does no one’s business.

A valuable point for Reims

Reims went to recover a precious point
in the race to maintain on the lawn of Brest (0-0). The Champenois were able to count on a great performance from their goalkeeper and have not lost for 5 games. Reims is 13th. Brest remains in the red zone, in 18th place.

Nothing seems to disturb Stade Rennes

Rennes continued on Sunday
against Montpellier (3-0) a fifth victory in a row in Ligue 1. Nothing seems to disturb Stade Rennes at the start of this autumn. Strasbourg, Nantes, Lyon, Angers and now Montpellier
suffered the same sentence, a defeat against the Breton offensive armada, as impressive as they were tireless despite their midweek European matches. And one of the artisans of Rennes’ dynamic is called Martin Terrier. The 25-year-old French striker continues his prolific year 2022, with a new goal on Sunday, the 11th of his season in all competitions. Montpellier chained its ninth defeat in a row.

Good things come to an end for Lorient

On the verge of breaking in the first period, Nice managed to turn things around to confirm their return to form and inflict a first stoppage on Lorient (2-1)
, sunday. Logically led on a goal by Dango Ouattara (18th), which could have brought others, the Niçois won thanks to Youcef Atal (61st) and Gaëtan Laborde (69th). Thanks to this convincing victory, the second of the week after that on the same score against Partizan Belgrade Thursday in the Europa League Conference, the formation of Lucien Favre finally finds the Top 10 of Ligue 1after vegetating at the bottom of the rankings throughout the start of the season.

Lorient, on the other hand, is marking time, after a series of six victories then two more frustrating draws. This defeat, the first of the season at home, let Rennes blow away 3rd place thanks to a better goal difference.

OL continue against Lille

Manhandled by conquering but unhappy Lille residents, Olympique Lyonnais continued their comeback by narrowly winning (1-0), thanks to a goal from Lacazette late in the game (74′). An achievement against the run of play as LOSC destabilized the Rhone defense, forcing Blanc to modify his tactical system at half-time. In addition to the Lyon striker, the great architect of victory is called Anthony Lopes. The Les Gones goalkeeper multiplied the saves and benefited from a helping hand from fate, when the crossbar repelled a lob from Timothy Weah in the first period.

Lyon (8th) continues a second success in a row and comes back to within two points of his evening opponent.
