Europe 1 with AFP 11:30 p.m., October 09, 2022
The leaders were not successful for this 10th day of Ligue 1. Among the top 4 teams, only Lorient managed to do well. PSG disappointed with a sad 0-0, as did Marseille who lost 2 goals to 1 against Ajaccio.
Decryption of all the matches of the French football championship.
Who will stop FC Lorient?
The astonishing team of Régis Le Bris chained Sunday afternoon a sixth consecutive victory in Ligue 1 (2-1), this time against its neighbor Brest, with a double from Terem Moffi (24th, 53rd).
Either the 7th and 8th goals this season for the Nigerian, who joins Parisian stars Kylian Mbappé and Neymar (8 goals) at the top of the scorers' rankings.
Here are the second Merlus (25 points), only one length behind the leader PSG (26 points), slowed down on Saturday evening in Reims (0-0), and two points ahead of Marseille (3rd, 23 points), who conceded their first defeat in this Ligue 1 on Saturday against Ajaccio (2-1).
The operation remains excellent for Lorient because it is the only team, among the first four, to have won this weekend: Lens (4th, 21 pts) also fell, losing in the derby du Nord in Lille ( 1-0) with a penalty goal from Jonathan David (44th).
Annoying for the Lensois, who lose their regional supremacy in 2022 and their invincibility this season.
And to think that Florian Sotoca missed a penalty (15th), saved by Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier!

Monaco five out of five, Rennes sinks Nantes
AS Monaco at cruising speed: the team from the Principality chained a fifth victory in a row in L1 on Sunday in Montpellier (2-0) thanks to Breel Embolo (45th + 1) and Myron Boadu (80th), at the end of a rather controlled match.
The Monegasques are fifth (20 points), six behind the Parisian leader.
"Physically, the team has grown. Collectively, it is more focused, more mature," said coach Philippe Clément.
Next opponent for the Monegasques in L1: the surprising Clermont team, which tamed Auxerre 2-1 thanks to Saîf-Eddine Khaoui (55th) and Grejohn Kyei (58th) and now has 16 points (8th), a nice total in its quest for maintenance.
As for Stade Rennes, it pushed its neighbor Nantes (19th in L1) into the Breton derby, thanks to Amine Gouiri (26th), Martin Terrier (80th) and a clear strike from Désiré Doué (84th), even if Joe Rodon was excluded at the end of the match (88th).
Bruno Genesio's team is sixth (18 points) before challenging Lyon next weekend (9th, 14 points), who ousted their coach Peter Bosz on Sunday to replace him with Laurent Blanc, former coach of the Blues in search of bounce.

Nice says phew, Strasbourg finally winner
A breath of fresh air for Nice coach Lucien Favre: OGC Nice regained their colors with a 3-2 victory against Troyes, the Aiglons' third success in this Ligue 1, which gives them a little breath of fresh air.
At the Allianz-Riviera, the Niçois scored through Italian defender Mattia Viti with a header (2nd) then a penalty obtained by Nicolas Pépé and converted by Andy Delort (37th) on the occasion of his 31st birthday.
Pépé then increased the score (50th) … before Nice put themselves in danger at the end of the match after two Trojan goals.
Anyway, the people of Nice are thirteenth (11 pts), ahead of Strasbourg (14th, 8 pts), who finally won this season after nine days without a win!
Racing won 3-2 in Angers thanks to Kevin Gameiro (7th), Miha Blazic against his side (33rd) and Habib Diallo (58th), while Adrien Hunou (11th) and Blazic (87th) maintained in vain the Angevin hope.
