A home victory over Rennes gave Lorient their third victory in the 2016/17 Ligue 1 season.  If Lorient is to climb up from the bottom of the league standings, this would be one of the victories they would look back to.

Rennes is having a decent season and a defeat like this can not be a habit if they intend on finishing in a European qualification spot at the end of the season.

Lille                                                 4-2                         Caen

Eder 14’                                                                         Julien Feret 31’

Naim Sliti 24’                                                                 Sylvio Ronny Rodelin 84’

Nicolas De Preville 64’

Marcos Lopes 65’

Both teams are in a battle to stay out of the relegation zone.  The home team came out with a quite comfortable win.

The victory allowed Lille the team to get level on points with Caen.

Dijon                                                1-1                           Monaco

Frederic Sammaritano 87’                                           Guido Marcelo Carrillo 17’

It was looking like Guido Carrillo’s early goal for Monaco was going to give the team an away victory, but newly-promoted Dijon scored a late goal denied Monaco important points to keep tabs with the race at the top of the league standings.

Three late second half goals gave Nancy a home victory that  moved them to two points away from Metz in the league standings.

Both newly promoted sides are having a decent season in the 2016/17 Ligue 1.

Saint-Etienne                                  0-0                        Marseille

A goalless draw between Saint-Etienne and Marseille. It made sense that Marseille was the hungrier of the two in this fixture.  

Marseille was coming from a defeat in their last league match,  and a victory here would pull them a point behind a Saint-Etienne team that is coming off a victory in their last league match.

SC Bastia                                         1-1                        Bordeaux

Thievy Bifouma 49’                                                      Gaetan Laborde 78’

Bordeaux saved themselves from a defeat at Bastia when Gaetan Laborde scored to cancel out Thievy Bifouma’s goal for SC Bastia.

Toulouse                                        1-0                       Montpellier

Issiaga Sylla 19’

After two league defeats, Issiaga Sylla scored the only goal of the match to give Toulouse a home victory over a Montpellier team that has now gone three league matches without a victory.  

Nantes                                             0-6                       Lyon

                                                                                     Corentin Tolisso 16’

                                                                                     Mouctar Diakhaby 75’

Six goals, six goalscorers.

Lyon bounced back from their home defeat against Paris Saint-Germain by scoring three goals in each half against Nantes to get their victory.

It was a comprehensive victory for Lyon as they grabbed maximum points away from  Nantes.

Guingamp                                       0-1                        OGC Nice

                                                                                       Younes Belhanda 5’

So long as OGC Nice win the remainder of their matches in Ligue 1, the title would be theirs.

A victory over Guingamp keeps Nice on top of the league table by a point.

Paris Saint-Germain                       2-0                      Angers

Thiago Silva 34’

Edinson Cavani 66’(pen)

Paris Saint-Germain got another win to keep pace with OGC Nice.

Edinson Cavani confirmed the victory when he converted a second-half penalty to double the lead for PSG.
