Monaco 1-0 PSG

Marseille 2-2 Toulouse
Marseille missed the chance to take the lead in the Ligue 1 standings after Toulouse secured a late 2-2 draw, halting the home team’s streak of three consecutive victories.

Strasbourg 1-2 Brest
Brest extended their unbeaten streak against RC Strasbourg Alsace to seven games (with 4 wins and 3 draws) after Hugo Magnetti scored a stunning goal in the 82nd minute, securing a valuable 2-1 victory for the Pirates.
