Ligue 1 Roundup, Matchday 11
Matchday 11 of the 2025/26 Ligue 1 season has just finished, featuring exciting games and outstanding displays. Below is the Ligue 1 roundup from this round of games.
PSG 1-0 Nice
Gonçalo Ramos scored a last-minute goal for Paris Saint-Germain, securing a 1-0 victory over OGC Nice at the Parc des Princes. This win helped PSG strengthen their hold on first place in Ligue 1, despite impressive efforts from the visiting goalkeeper. PSG maintain their lead at the top of the league, while Nice finish the week three points behind the European qualification spots.
Monaco 0-1 Paris FC
Paris FC halted AS Monaco’s six-game unbeaten streak (2 wins, 4 draws) by securing a 1-0 victory in Ligue 1 at the Stade Louis II, ending their own run of three winless games (1 draw, 2 losses). This defeat caused Monaco to lose ground in the title race, with PSG now leading Les Monégasques by four points.
Auxerre 0-1 Marseille
Marseille ended a three-game winless run with a tight 1-0 victory over determined Ligue 1 underdogs AJ Auxerre, who remained in the relegation zone despite a confident display against the 10-man Olympiens. Marseille managed to maintain their lead despite being a player down for nearly half an hour, keeping them just two points behind league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Rennes 4-1 Strasbourg
Rennes broke a six-game winless streak in impressive fashion, with Estéban Lepaul scoring his first top-tier hat trick to help the Rouge et Noir secure a 4-1 victory over Strasbourg at Roazhon Park. Rennes comfortably maintained their lead for the rest of the match, moving up into the top half of Ligue 1, while Strasbourg dropped to 7th place.
Toulouse 0-0 Le Havre
Toulouse missed the opportunity to narrow the gap for European qualification after being held to a 0-0 draw by Le Havre, who have only won one of their last six away matches in Ligue 1. The point is more beneficial for Le Havre, as it extends their lead over the relegation zone. They will aim to continue this momentum in their next home game against fellow lower-table team Nantes.
Nantes 0-2 Metz
After not winning any of their first nine Ligue 1 matches this season, Metz achieved consecutive wins by defeating Nantes 2-0 on the road. This result leaves Nantes with only one victory in their last eight games. Metz’s valuable third straight head-to-head win moves them up from the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings and increases the pressure on Nantes, who have earned just four points from six home games in the 2025/26 season.
Lille 1-0 Angers
Angers’ resurgence in Ligue 1 faltered as their three-game unbeaten streak ended with a 1-0 loss to Lille. This victory propels Lille up three spots to fourth place. Lille’s win returns them to the top four, just four points shy of league leaders PSG.
Lens 3-0 Lorient
RC Lens stayed in contention for the title by securing a 3-0 win against Lorient at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. This victory marks their fifth consecutive home win. The three crucial points keep Lens just two points behind the league leaders. On the other hand, Lorient remain 16th in the standings, holding the relegation play-off position, and have not won any of their last five league matches (2 draws, 3 losses).
Brest 0-0 Lyon
Lyon managed to hold on for a tough 0-0 draw at Brest despite Hans Hateboer receiving an early red card. This result means Brest have only won two of their first 11 Ligue 1 matches this season (4 draws, 5 losses). In the end, neither team could find a winning goal, but Lyon earned a hard-earned away point, extending their unbeaten streak to four games in all competitions.
