Ligue 1 Roundup, Matchday 4
The 4th matchday of the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season has just concluded, showcasing thrilling games and impressive performances. Below is the Ligue 1 roundup for this matchday.
Rennes 1-0 Marseille
Rennes climbed to third place in Ligue 1 after a tight 1-0 victory against Olympique de Marseille at Roazhon Park, securing their third consecutive win in a strong start to the season. Both teams will now turn their focus to their UEFA Europa League opening matches next week.
Strasbourg 1-1 Monaco
Monaco drop to second place after a 1-1 draw at the Stade de la Meinau against RC Strasbourg Alsace, who have now earned seven points from their last three matches. The draw means Strasbourg have lost just one of their last eight Ligue 1 home games played on a Saturday (with five wins and two draws), while Filipe Luís’ team must settle for dropping points and experiencing their first winless game of the 2026/27 season.
Paris FC 0-0 Lyon
Paris FC and Lyon both kept their unbeaten streaks in Ligue 1 intact with a draw at the Stade Jean-Bouin (W2, D2). The home team had to be content with a point, extending their 53-year drought without a head-to-head win against Lyon. This outcome means Paris and Lyon will end the day in fourth and fifth place respectively, each trailing the Ligue 1 leaders by two points.
Lorient 2-2 Toulouse
Lorient squandered a two-goal advantage against Toulouse, resulting in a 2-2 draw at Stade du Moustoir, and missed the opportunity to secure their 200th Ligue 1 victory. Although Lorient managed to end a streak of three consecutive home league losses, they will be deeply frustrated to have lost the strong position they held at halftime.
Le Havre 0-0 Angers
Le Havre AC are still searching for their first Ligue 1 victory this season after a 0-0 draw at home against SCO Angers, marking the third draw between the two teams in their last five encounters. Le Havre managed to secure their first home point of the season following consecutive defeats to AS Monaco and Brest. Meanwhile, Angers continue to be undefeated away from home in the French top division this season.
Auxerre 1-0 Nice
Auxerre ended their losing streak by defeating OGC Nice 1-0 in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade de l’Abbé Deschamps. This result caused the two teams to switch positions in the French top division. Nice extended their winless streak in away Ligue 1 games to six (three draws and three losses). By securing the three points, Auxerre climbed out of the relegation zone, while Nice, having won only two of their last 28 league matches, remained firmly at the bottom of Ligue 1.
Lille 2-0 Troyes
Lille broke their streak of four home games without a win by defeating newly promoted Troyes 2-0, bringing them level on points with Monaco and Rennes at the top of Ligue 1. Dumont can also be encouraged by his team’s performance and how they effectively contained the home team for much of the match.
Le Mans 2-2 Lens
Le Mans have not secured a home victory in Ligue 1 since 2010, as they surrendered a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 with RC Lens, who snapped a brief streak of two consecutive top-division losses. Losing leads has become a concerning pattern for Le Mans, who will face Lorient next week after failing to maintain winning positions in three of their four games since their promotion.
Brest 0-1 PSG
Paris Saint-Germain secured their first Ligue 1 victory of the season on their fourth attempt, earning a hard-fought 1-0 win in Brittany against Stade Brest. PSG aims to build on this result as they prepare for Le Classique against Marseille next week. Meanwhile, Brest, despite experiencing their first loss of the season, will take many positives from the match.
