Ligue 1 Roundup, Matchday 13
Matchday 13 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.
OGC Nice 1-5 Marseille
Marseille secured a dominant 5-1 win against local rivals OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera. This marks Marseille’s third consecutive Ligue 1 win, placing them in second place, just two points behind Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, Nice stay in the middle of the table, holding ninth place with 17 points from 13 games.
Lens 1-0 Strasbourg
Ismaëlo Ganiou scored his first goal for RC Lens, leading Les Sang et Or to a valuable victory at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. This win moved them up to 3rd place in Ligue 1 after defeating a ten-man RC Strasbourg Alsace. With this victory, Lens have lost only one of their last nine games (7 wins, 1 draw), keeping Pierre Sage’s team’s hopes alive of winning their first Ligue 1 title in 28 years. On the other hand, Strasbourg’s difficulties away from home continue, as they have lost their last three away league matches and have a record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses on the road.
Rennes 4-1 Monaco
Mahdi Camara’s goal and two assists laid the groundwork for Rennes’ largest winning margin of the 2025/26 season, as they defeated AS Monaco 4-1 at Roazhon Park, handing Monaco their third consecutive Ligue 1 loss. Monaco’s poor form persists, with the team having won just three of their last 11 matches in all competitions.
PSG 3-0 Le Havre
Paris Saint-Germain stretched their unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 to eight matches (5 wins, 3 draws) and climbed back to the top of the standings with a 3-0 victory against a determined Le Havre AC team at the Parc des Princes. This win restores their two-point advantage at the summit, while Le Havre, who had been unbeaten in their last four league games (2 wins, 2 draws), dropped to 13th place.
Auxerre 0-0 Lyon
Lyon goalkeeper Dominik Greif saved a penalty in the first half, helping Les Gones secure a point in a 0-0 draw against struggling AJ Auxerre. Despite missing eight players due to injuries and suspensions, European hopefuls Lyon will likely be satisfied with earning a point, although they were playing away against the league’s bottom team.
Toulouse 0-1 Angers
Angers SCO achieved their first away win in Ligue 1 this season by narrowly defeating Toulouse 1-0 at the Stadium de Toulouse. With two consecutive wins, Angers have caught up to Toulouse in points and have created a 5-point gap from the relegation zone.
Nantes 1-1 Lorient
Chidozie Awaziem scored for both teams, with his late equalizer for Nantes preventing Lorient from securing their first away win of the 2025/26 season. An own goal contributed to Nantes extending their winless streak to four matches (2 draws, 2 losses). As a result, Nantes climbed out of the bottom three, but only on goal difference, now occupying 15th place.
Brest 3-2 Metz
Brest pulled away from the Ligue 1 relegation zone after initially missing a penalty in stoppage time but then securing a 3-2 win over Metz with a second penalty in added time, achieving their fourth consecutive head-to-head victory for Les Pirates.
Lille 4-2 Paris FC
Olivier Giroud broke his two-month goal drought in spectacular style, scoring twice to help Lille overturn the score and secure their third comeback victory of the season with a 4-2 win against Paris FC. This victory moves Lille into the top four and extends their unbeaten streak against Paris FC to seven games. On the other hand, Paris FC have lost four of their last six matches and are only three points above the relegation zone.
