At the end of the day, Paris secured the main thing with the win. It should not be overlooked, it was important, and it was clear to see that it is still far from a given. It was very tough against a strong Brest side, on a night when the Parisians were not always accurate or inspired.

At the start of the weekend, Rennes pulled off a big result to confirm its strong start to the season, with a goal from new signing Adrien Thomasson confirming their place among the frontrunners. By contrast, OM is already a long way from its 4-0 win on the opening matchday and is already heading toward a crisis this season after a transfer window marked by sales. Coach Bruno Génésio faces a major challenge to turn things around.

AS Monaco managed to hold on to first place, but its winning streak was halted by Strasbourg. The 1-1 draw seems fair enough, even if it was surrounded by refereeing controversy. ASM therefore stayed top on goal difference, while Strasbourg remains in fairly good form as it looks to erase that famous setback on Matchday 1.

Paris FC and Olympique Lyonnais were unable to join the leading pack and remain behind after sharing the points in a match that was above all defensive, or boring. It is a shame, as a little more entertainment was expected from both teams.

Lille was ultimately the side that also managed to make the most of it, with a valuable and deserved win against Troyes. The 2-0 victory also allowed them to finally dethrone ASM, while confirming their excellent start to the league campaign. That is not the case for Lens, which managed a fine comeback against Le Mans from 2-0 down to 2-2 to avoid defeat, but still has only 4 points. The result is frustrating for the promoted side, which lacked solidity.

Meanwhile, in the relegation battle, the main thing to note is that AJ Auxerre finally managed to win after a rather painful start. This 1-0 success against Nice, their first clean sheet, should do them a world of good. By contrast, Nice has plunged back into crisis after last season’s painful campaign, when survival was secured only through the playoff.
