PSG did not fully control their home game against Le Havre, but they certainly deserved the win with a greater number of chances. And not just a few. The good news is they could count on an in-form Lucas Chevalier. Enough to build confidence and calm, in addition to precious points to stay at the top.

Indeed, before that, Olympique de Marseille made a statement—not just with goals—against Nice. The Niçois offered little resistance, at times even worryingly so, and the Marseillais took full advantage with a 1-5 win that feels good for the restart.

Then, Lens and Rennes pulled off the big results of the weekend. Lens, after a very tight match (8 shots to 7, 52% possession) against Strasbourg, who are just behind in the standings. Rennes, with ruthless efficiency (11 shots to 7, 51% possession), swept aside Monaco, who still struggle with consistency. And now find themselves “at the bottom” of the second group.

Lille took advantage, with difficulty, but capitalizing on Paris FC’s recurring defensive issues, to take 4th place and prevent the podium from breaking away too clearly. A 4-2 match during which Olivier Giroud found the net again (twice, in fact) after a two-month drought.

The poor result at the top of the table goes to Lyon, with their 0-0 draw at Auxerre despite a certain dominance. It’s becoming a tough period for Lyon, while the league’s bottom team can happily take this point. We also saw Angers manage to win at Toulouse to continue their impressive comeback, even catching up to Toulouse, for whom Europe seems too difficult this season.

Finally, in the direct battle for survival, there were high emotions: Nantes snatched a draw in stoppage time against Lorient, while Brest won with a penalty in the 90th+10 minute after having one saved six minutes earlier.
