Paris Saint-Germain overturned Marseille’s lead to take the round’s most dramatic result, winning 2-1 at the Stade Vélodrome. Ferrán Torres put Marseille ahead in the 66th minute, but Angel Gomes equalised six minutes later before Marcos Aoás Corrêa completed the turnaround in the 74th minute. The result leaves Marseille 17th on three points after four defeats, while PSG moves up to sixth with eight points.
Nuamah leads Lyon’s emphatic response
Lyon produced the round’s biggest victory, defeating Rennes 4-0. Ernest Nuamah scored twice, in the seventh and 30th minutes, to become one of the round’s joint top scorers. Zachary Athekame added a third shortly after half-time, and Corentin Tolisso completed the scoring in the 76th minute. Lyon remains unbeaten and sits second on 11 points, with a goal difference of eight. Rennes, despite the defeat, stays fifth on 10 points.
Monaco retained first place by beating Lens 2-1. Paris Brunner opened the scoring after 32 minutes, and Matthieu Udol doubled the advantage in the 57th. Jonathan Gradit’s own goal in the 84th minute settled the result. Monaco is the only side in the top six with 13 points and remains unbeaten, recording four wins and one draw.
Nice provide the round’s major surprise
Nice, ranked 14th before the match, defeated fourth-placed Lille 2-1. Nathan Ngoy’s own goal gave Nice an early advantage, Mohamed Amoura extended it in the 67th minute, and Ayase Ueda pulled one back 12 minutes later. Lille remains fourth on 10 points, while the victory gives Nice a significant result against a team positioned in the European places.
Paris FC also strengthened its position near the top by beating Strasbourg 2-1. Ilan Kebbal scored in the 18th minute, Pablo Pagis restored Paris FC’s lead after Strasbourg’s equaliser, and Moustapha Mbow’s own goal in the 88th minute decided the match. Paris FC is third on 11 points, level with Lyon but behind on goal difference.
Tengstedt inspires Toulouse in five-goal contest
Casper Tengstedt scored twice in two minutes to help Toulouse beat Le Havre 3-2. His penalty in the 49th minute was followed by a second goal in the 51st. Josh Maja reduced the deficit, Thomas Jorgensen levelled in the 79th, and Mbwana Ally Samatta scored in the 88th minute to give Toulouse the win. Tengstedt joins Nuamah as the round’s leading scorers with two goals. Le Havre remains 18th on two points.
Elsewhere, Angers beat Estac Troyes 2-0 through goals from Prosper Peter and Amine Sbaï. Le Mans defeated Lorient 2-1 after goals from Adil Bourabaa, Habib Diallo and Isak Jensen. Auxerre beat Stade Brestois 29 by the same score, with Pathé Mboup and Cameron Archer scoring before Raphaël Le Guen’s own goal. Across nine matches, 29 goals were scored.
The table takes shape
Monaco’s unbeaten record gives it a two-point lead over Lyon and Paris FC, while Lille and Rennes remain within three points of the summit. PSG’s win places it sixth, eight points from five matches. At the other end, Estac Troyes has four points in 16th, Marseille has three in 17th and Le Havre has two in 18th. Those positions underline the early pressure at the bottom, while the narrow gap among the leading sides keeps the race for the upper places tightly grouped.
