The PSG, already saved on the wire by Neymar last week against Strasbourg, won in extremis in Lyon (1-0) thanks to a new inspiration from his Brazilian superstar, Sunday at the end of the 6th day of Ligue 1.

In the other meetings, Rennes and Lille were not able to decide (0-0), while Angers outclassed (4-1) Saint-Etienne, more than ever bad in point in the standings.

. Neymar wears PSG

Thank you Neymar, again. Author of a magnificent return in extra time against Strasbourg last Saturday (1-0), the Brazilian N.10 has recidivated to offer late in the game a prestigious success to his team.

Thanks to their win over their rivals Lyonnais, the Parisians take a three-point lead at the top of the standings, while OL remains in the soft belly of the championship, in 9th position.

During a first period of high bill, the players of Thomas Tuchel, despite a very voluntary Neymar, have failed to bend Lyonnais curled up in 5-3-2, and well protected by the judgments of Anthony Lopes.

In the wake of the demonstration against Real Madrid (3-0), the PSG has smothered his opponent but without knowing the same efficiency in the last gesture. And the more the minutes passed, the more the rhythm fell like a counter-stroke of the great performance realized Wednesday.

The match seemed to go to a draw, and then Neymar again showed why he was the most expensive player in history, scoring a goal from elsewhere: despite four players around him in the box, he managed a short supersonic hook to get rid of marking, before making a cross shot left unstoppable (87th). The reconciliation operation is running.

. Good operation missed for Rennes and Lille

Nobody took advantage: Rennais and Lille, visibly tired of their European matches of the week, had to settle for a draw (1-1) Sunday at Roazhon Park, while a success would have assured them a place on the podium.

Rennes, who went on to score their second draw in three days, after that of Europa League against Celtic Glasgow on the same score, down to 4th place, while Lille is in 6th place, one point from his opponent of the day.

More enterprising and dominating before the break, it is the Lille who opened the scoring right from the return of the locker room. On a bad recovery of Gélin, Osimhen jumped on the opportunity to intercept the ball and ideally serve Ikone (46th).

The hardest seemed to be done, but Rennes did not let go. Barely entered the game, Adrien Hunou has taken the lead, unstoppable, a center of Hamari Traore, well served by Bourigeaud, to equalize (67).

. Angers new dolphin, Sainté in crisis

Nothing can be arranged for Saint-Etienne: unable to win any game since the start of the season, the Greens have experienced in Angers (4-1) their fourth setback in their last five games in all competitions. Very disturbing ...

All started well with the opening score of Nordin (34th). Before the break, the men of Ghislain Printant will however collapse because of one man: Casimir Ninga.

Having just come into play, Mathias Pereira-Lage started by serving Pierrick Capelle victoriously, who scored the equalizer (48 '). Then Ninga did the rest.

Substitute at the kickoff, the Chadian came into play in the 69th minute to register a hat-trick in 11 minutes of madness (78th, 84th, 89th). Incredible but true ! Just like the new classification of Angevins, new dolphin PSG.
