In Lens, Lyon's Moussa Niakhaté (starting) secured a valuable victory (0-1). With Yehvann Diouf and Antoine Mendy starting, Nice lost at home to Toulouse (0-1). At the Francis-Le Blé stadium, Stade Brestois, without Abdoulaye Niakhaté Ndiaye, was held to a 3-3 draw by Lille. Mikayil Ngor Faye, who was dismissed by Habib Beye for being late, did not take part in Stade Rennais' victory over Marseille (1-0).
