Results of the day –

Current ranking –

PSG was among the 4 teams with 6 points, but was only 3rd due to goal difference. With a spectacular match, but lacking control, which allows gaining +3 in points and goals, it is now first for the international break.

We cannot mention the show without thinking of Lille, who took advantage of a complete breakdown by Lorient at the end of the match to win 7-1 (and thus remain undefeated) while Lorient had scored the 1-2 in the 64th minute, for a 1-3 at the 77th.

But the only team to have followed PSG in these first 3 matches is Olympique Lyonnais, winner of a very important match against Olympique de Marseille, reduced to 10 just before the break. OM "held on" until the 87th minute and an own goal by the unfortunate Balerdi, who is going through a very difficult period. Like the Phocaean club, between lack of points and serenity off the field.

Behind, Monaco found victory and blocked Strasbourg at the end of a very lively match, with exciting twists against a strong Strasbourg team. A match that reminds us there are great moments to live in Ligue 1.

Behind, we especially note the first victory of Paris FC for this promotion to Ligue 1, in a match also marked by the show and turnarounds. Important points for confidence before going on break. It was perhaps also against a competitor for maintenance, while Metz is in the painful situation of being alone at 0 point.

It's barely more reassuring for Brest, far from the euphoria of the Champions League played last season, with only 1 point on the scoreboard. Even if there is no need to dramatize yet, it should not drag on. Last notable point, Rennes finally managed not to take a red card. But the point brought back from Angers is not either reassuring.
