Matchday 24 of the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season has just wrapped up, featuring exciting matches and impressive performances. Here is the Ligue 1 Roundup from this round of games.
Monaco 3-0 Reims
Mika Biereth scored his third straight home hat-trick, bringing his total to 10 goals in seven Ligue 1 matches, as he led Monaco to a 3-0 win against a struggling Reims team. This victory earned Monaco three points, moving them up to fourth place, while Reims remains in 15th, having failed to score in five matches and only three points ahead of AS Saint-Étienne in 17th place.
St Etienne 1-3 OGC Nice
Two goals in the second half allowed OGC Nice to secure their position in third place in Ligue 1, as they defeated relegation-threatened Saint-Étienne 3-1 at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. This victory marks Nice’s seventh win in nine matches in 2025 (with one draw and one loss), putting them five points ahead of fifth-placed Lille in the competitive race for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
RC Lens 3-4 Le Havre
Ahmed Hassan netted a penalty in the 91st minute, helping Le Havre come from behind twice to secure a surprising 4-3 victory against Lens. This win brought Le Havre within two points of safety, while Lens stayed 6 points away from the top six.
PSG 4-1 Lille
Paris Saint-Germain solidified their position at the top of Ligue 1 with a decisive 4-1 win against Lille at Parc des Princes, netting all four goals before the halftime break and continuing their pursuit of an unbeaten domestic season. Lille has recorded just one win in their last 29 away encounters against PSG, placing them five points behind the 3rd place OGC Nice.
Lyon 2-1 Brest
A brilliant performance by Alexandre Lacazette helped Lyon secure a 2-1 comeback victory against Brest, narrowing the gap to the top four in Ligue 1 and ending Brest’s impressive four-game unbeaten streak on the road. This win puts Lyon just four points behind fourth-place Monaco, while Brest now find themselves six points behind their sixth-place opponents.
Montpellier 0-4 Rennes
Rennes maintained their impressive performance by winning four out of their last five matches in Ligue 1, following a 4-0 victory over Montpellier at the Stade de la Mosson. This win allowed Rennes to rise to 11th place in the Ligue 1 standings, but their aspirations for a European spot seem unlikely as they are 10 points behind sixth-placed Lyon. On the other hand, Montpellier remains at the bottom of the table.
Auxerre 0-1 Strasbourg
A lone goal by Emanuel Emegha secured Strasbourg’s first win at l’Abbé-Deschamps this century, bringing them within two points of a European qualification position in Ligue 1 and ending AJ Auxerre’s 10-match unbeaten streak at home. On the other hand, Auxerre fell to 12th place after this uncommon home defeat, but they still have no serious concerns about relegation.
Angers 0-4 Toulouse
Toulouse secured a convincing 4-0 victory against Angers at Stade Raymond Kopa, thanks to a strong performance in the second half, which extended their unbeaten streak in away games to six across all competitions. Noah Edjouma scored the fourth goal during stoppage time, enhancing the final score as Toulouse moved up to eighth place, just six points behind the top six.
Marseille 2-0 Nantes
Marseille has increased their unbeaten streak at home in Ligue 1 to seven games (5 wins, 2 draws), thanks to two late goals from Amine Gouiri and Mason Greenwood, which secured a tough 2-0 victory against FC Nantes. This rapid succession of goals effectively sealed the match, allowing De Zerbi’s team to maintain their impressive head-to-head record, remaining unbeaten in the last 10 encounters (8 wins, 2 draws).
