Ligue 1 Roundup, Matchday 10
Matchday 10 of the 2025/26 Ligue 1 season has just concluded, showcasing thrilling matches and remarkable performances. Below is the Ligue 1 roundup from this round of games.
OGC Nice 2-0 Lille
Sofiane Diop found the net for the fifth game in a row in Ligue 1, helping OGC Nice secure a tough 2-0 win over LOSC Lille. This victory extended Nice’s unbeaten streak at home in the league to five games (four wins and one draw) and marked their first head-to-head win against Lille since January 2023. Following this result, Franck Haise’s team climbed to 8th place, matching Lille’s points total, who drop to 7th place.
Metz 2-0 Lens
Metz finally secured their first win of the season on their 10th try, thanks to a late double from Gauthier Hein, leading to a 2-0 victory over the in-form Lens. This marks their sixth win in the last 10 head-to-head encounters. Despite the win, Metz still sit at the bottom of the table with 4 points from safety. Meanwhile, Lens suffered their first loss in six games, missing the opportunity to move to the top of Ligue 1.
Lorient 1-1 PSG
Lorient bravely managed a 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, marking the third time in their last four head-to-head matches against the champions that Les Merlus have avoided defeat. For PSG, this result means they have drawn three of their last four Ligue 1 games, and their lead at the top of the table has been reduced to just one point ahead of second-placed Monaco.
Le Havre 1-0 Brest
Didier Digard’s Le Havre AC team secured consecutive Ligue 1 victories for the first time since March by narrowly beating fellow relegation-threatened Brest 1-0 at Stade Océane. This loss drops Brest to 14th place, tied on points with Lorient in the relegation play-off position, as they have now gone four league matches without a win (2 draws, 2 losses). Due to the close competition in the lower half of Ligue 1, Le Havre’s win actually moved them up to 11th place.
Toulouse 2-2 Rennes
Rennes’ streak without an away win in Ligue 1 has reached eight games after they squandered a two-goal advantage to settle for a 2-2 draw against Toulouse. This result marks Rennes’ fifth draw in their last six league matches, keeping them in 10th place, two points behind and just below Toulouse, who are only 5 points shy of the top six.
Strasbourg 3-0 Auxerre
Strasbourg moved up to fourth place in Ligue 1 following a dominant second-half performance that led to a 3-0 win against Auxerre. This victory extended their strong home league record to just two losses in 16 matches (11 wins, 3 draws). The home team comfortably controlled the final moments to claim their sixth win in seven head-to-head encounters.
Paris FC 3-3 Lyon
Ilan Kebbal’s goal and assist played a crucial role in Paris FC’s remarkable comeback, helping them avoid their third consecutive Ligue 1 loss. Trailing 3-0 at the 60-minute mark, they rallied to secure a 3-3 draw against Lyon, who missed the opportunity to match leaders PSG on points. This draw prevented Paris from suffering a fourth defeat in their last six matches. Although they have only won once during this period, the team will gain significant confidence from this impressive comeback.
Nantes 3-5 Monaco
Sébastien Pocognoli continued his unbeaten run as Monaco’s manager to four games with an exciting 5-3 win away at Nantes, securing second place for the visitors after matchday 10, just one point behind the leaders. Meanwhile, Luís Castro’s team remains stuck in 15th place, narrowly avoiding the relegation zone on goal difference, despite putting up a strong fight in what was a contender for the game of the season.
Marseille 2-2 Angers
Marseille dropped to third place in the Ligue 1 standings after Ousmane Camara scored a 96th-minute equalizer, ending Les Olympiens’ streak of nine straight home wins. The draw leaves Marseille without a win in their last three matches across all competitions, making the missed chance to reclaim first place in Ligue 1 even more disappointing.
