Ligue 1 Roundup, Matchday 15
The 15th round of the 2025/26 Ligue 1 season has just finished, featuring exciting games and remarkable displays. Here is an overview of the most recent Ligue 1 matches.
Brest 1-0 Monaco
Brest was reduced to 10 players for the last 30 minutes but still managed to secure an impressive 1-0 victory against AS Monaco. This marked Monaco’s fourth league loss in five games. Sébastien Pocognoli’s team was unable to capitalize on their win against Paris Saint-Germain last week, allowing Brest to achieve their third consecutive league win.
Lille 1-0 Marseille
LOSC Lille secured a 1-0 victory over Marseille in the contest between the third and fourth places in Ligue 1, thanks to a brilliant moment of skill from Ethan Mbappé that brought the home team three crucial points. Lille’s last league game before the winter break will be an away match against struggling AJ Auxerre, where they aim to continue their momentum from this significant win.
Nantes 1-2 Lens
RC Lens remain at the top of Ligue 1 by securing their fifth consecutive win, thanks to a late goal in a 2-1 victory against relegation-threatened FC Nantes at Stade de la Beaujoire. With this fifth straight win, Lens now hold a one-point advantage at the summit of Ligue 1.
Toulouse 1-0 Strasbourg
Emersonn’s goal in the first half secured a 1-0 victory for Toulouse against Strasbourg in Ligue 1. This marked Toulouse’s first home win against Strasbourg in over 20 years and propelled the team into the top half of the standings. The win brings Toulouse to just two points behind Strasbourg.
PSG 5-0 Rennes
Paris Saint-Germain continue their unbeaten streak at the Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 this season (6 wins, 1 draw), following a 5-0 victory over Rennes that reduced the gap to league leaders RC Lens to just one point. This important win, which could be key in their pursuit of a fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title, also extends PSG’s unbeaten head-to-head record against Rennes to six matches across all competitions (5 wins, 1 draw). Most importantly, it maintains the pressure on the top-performing Lens.
Nice 0-1 Angers
Angers SCO secured a 1-0 win against fellow mid-table Ligue 1 team OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera, moving ahead of the Eaglets after only their second victory in 11 head-to-head matches (2 draws, 7 losses). For Angers, this marks their third league win in the last four games, bringing them to within five points of the top six.
Le Havre 0-0 Paris FC
Le Havre and Paris FC ended in an eventful 0-0 draw at the Stade Océane, with Les Club Doyen having won only one of the last 10 head-to-head matches between the two teams (5 draws, 4 losses), and failing to score in seven of those games.
Auxerre 3-1 Metz
Auxerre broke a nine-game winless streak in Ligue 1 by securing a hard-earned 3-1 win against fellow relegation candidates Metz at Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps. The loss pushed Metz below Auxerre, placing them at the bottom of the standings. Although the win doesn’t move Auxerre out of the bottom three, it does elevate them two spots to 16th place, marking their third league win of the season, all achieved on home ground.
Lorient 1-0 Lyon
Lorient secured consecutive Ligue 1 victories by defeating Lyon, who played with 10 men, 1-0 at the Stade Du Moustoir. Lorient now sit 5 points above the relegation play-off zone, but they will be keen to build on their strong home performances to boost their away form in the upcoming weeks.
