PSG was among the four teams with six points, but was only third due to goal difference. With a spectacular, but lacking in control, match that allowed them to add three points and goals, they are now first place for the international break.
We can’t mention the spectacle without thinking of Lille, who took advantage of a complete Lorient meltdown late in the match to win 7-1 (and thus remain undefeated), despite Lorient having made it 1-2 in the 64th minute, only to draw 1-3 in the 77th.
But the only team to have kept up with PSG in these first three matches was Olympique Lyonnais, winner of a very important match against Olympique de Marseille, reduced to 10 men just before halftime. OM “held on” until the 87th minute and an own goal from the unfortunate Balerdi, who is going through a very difficult period. Like the Marseille club, between a lack of points and a lack of calm off the pitch.
After that, Monaco returned to victory and held off Strasbourg after a very lively match, with exciting twists and turns against a strong Strasbourg team. A match that reminds us that there are some wonderful moments to be had in Ligue 1.
Behind that, we especially note Paris FC’s first victory of this promotion to Ligue 1, in a match also marked by spectacle and turnarounds. These were important points for confidence before the break. It was perhaps also against a contender for relegation, while Metz is experiencing the difficult situation of being alone on 0 points.
It’s hardly more reassuring for Brest, a far cry from the euphoria of last season’s Champions League, with only 1 point on the board. Even if there’s no need to overthink things yet, they shouldn’t linger. Lastly, Rennes finally managed to avoid receiving a red card. But the point they picked up from Angers isn’t encouraging either.
