PSG managed to keep up their momentum, despite a difficult context coming out of the international break and ahead of the Champions League, with 3 players injured during the match: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Lee Kang-In, and Lucas Beraldo. We are waiting to find out the severity of the injuries, but at least the team remained solid and secured victory against a strong Lens side.

This allows PSG to take first place with a points lead, and not just on goal difference, as Lyon collapsed at the end of their match after leading 0-1 in Rennes. The cause, notably, was a red card (which is ironic after Rennes’ recent experiences with expulsions) in the 75th minute, then goals conceded in the 79th and in stoppage time. It’s a great result for Rennes, a tough moment for Lyon.

Lille takes advantage to move into second place, being the only other team besides PSG not to have lost. This was thanks to a hard-fought win against Toulouse. Once again, a red card for Toulouse at 0-1 changed everything in the 80th minute, followed by goals for Lille in the 90th and 90+8 minutes.

OM started strong and more “decisively” against Lorient, who have struggled at the start of this season and quickly received a red card. But at least this time Marseille didn’t waste the opportunity and gained confidence ahead of facing Real Madrid and PSG this week.

At the top, Monaco and Strasbourg confirmed their places in the upper part of the table, even though their wins against Auxerre (1-2) and Le Havre (1-0) were far from easy.

At the other end, Brest is starting to worry with another defeat, this time against Paris FC (a newly promoted team with a big budget), and Metz earned their first point against Angers. Which is better than nothing, but not much more.
