Djibril Sidibé was sent off 43 seconds after coming on in Le Mans’ 3-2 defeat at Rennes, the fastest by a substitute since 2006/07, ahead of Benjamin Mendy, 47 seconds, and Yohan Cabaye, 52.

PSG drew 2-2 at Lille despite entering stoppage time two down, only the second in the last 60 seasons after Nice v Lyon in April 2011.

At 37 years and 230 days, Axel Witsel became the second oldest outfield debutant in Ligue one in the last 60 years, behind David Beckham at 37 years and 298 days in February 2013.

Estéban Lepaul’s brace v Le Mans made it seven straight Ligue one scoring games, only Hervé Guermeur better with eight in 1972 since Opta’s records from 1947/48.

Troyes beat Lorient 2-1 for a first Ligue one win since 2 January 2023, 3-2 at Strasbourg, ending a 22-match winless run, seven draws and 15 defeats.

On his 200th top-flight appearance, in Brest v Toulouse, 2-2, Ludovic Ajorque reached 24 headed goals, a Ligue one record in Opta’s era.

Paris FC have lost only four Ligue one games in 2026, with eight wins and eight draws. Yvon Mvogo has saved none of 15 Ligue one penalties, and at 39 years 332 days Olivier Giroud is the oldest to make two assists in one game in Europe’s top five leagues in the last 20 seasons, doing so in a 2-2 v PSG.
