PSG may not have been brilliant, but they earned their win and deserved it. It is worth noting that more goals could have been scored with a bit more precision—and if the opposing goalkeeper hadn’t been in such fine form. At the very least, they successfully defended their top spot, which was the most important thing.
Close behind, Lille pulled off one of the weekend’s most significant results, grinding out a hard-fought victory away at Rennes (despite Rennes dominating with 11 shots to 5, 55% possession, and 7 corners to 2). Often criticized for a lack of clinical finishing, Lille managed to be efficient this time around. Meanwhile, the Breton side—now dropping out of the European qualification spots—will surely have regrets.
The top three remained solid, as Paris FC navigated a difficult, tightly contested, and foul-ridden away match against Auxerre. Lassine Sinayoko—as he so often does—found a breakthrough, allowing PFC to secure the result they needed to stay firmly in the race for European football.
Olympique de Marseille has also made a welcome return to form. Having been near the bottom of the table not long ago, OM continued their winning streak with a victory at Lens and now sit in 4th place, five points behind PSG. It is a remarkable turnaround, standing in stark contrast to the struggles of Lens, who are reeling following a heavy defeat in the Champions League (1-9 against Como). OM’s rise to fourth place was also aided by a stumble from Olympique Lyonnais, who fell 2–0 in Brest—a notoriously difficult place to play. Nice took advantage, closing the gap with a well-deserved 2–0 victory away to Angers; like OM, they have managed to put a disastrous start to the season further behind them.
AS Monaco, meanwhile, are heading in the opposite direction, following a frustrating 1–1 draw at Le Mans—a match in which they conceded a goal late on. For their part, Le Mans deserve credit for staying in the fight to avoid relegation. In that same battle, Lorient have managed to catch their breath, at the expense of Le Havre, who remain unable to bounce back (0–2).
