The 25th round of the French league also takes place today (Sunday) with a number of interesting games, with one surprise already recorded – Monaco squeezed at home 2: 2 against Lorraine from the bottom of the league, st. Etienne defeated Ran outside. Lille will try to return to first place in the table in the game against Brest and Marseille will host Bordeaux (22:00) and will try to recover from the loss to champions Paris Saint-Germain in the last round.
Lil – Brest 0: 0
Christophe Galatieri’s hosts hosted the bottom team as they counted seven consecutive league victories, but knowing that Paris Saint-Germain temporarily overtook them at the top with the same number of points as her, she therefore sought victory at all costs and big disappointment. The host completely controlled the game and held the ball 67% of the time – but could not find the net. Despite this, Lille returned to first place in the league when she was one point ahead of the champions from Paris. In the next round she will host at home again, this time Strasbourg and hope to return to scoring and winning.
Monaco-Lorraine 2: 2
The team from the principalities missed a huge opportunity to close the gap from the third million, and this draw leaves it three points away from the place in the Champions League. Lorraine, ranked 17th in the league, missed out on a huge win and will continue its struggles for survival in the league.
The game opened with a storm when already in the seventh minute the guest received a penalty which became before the Nigerian Mofei a quick advantage. In the second half, the locals were more determined and in the 48th minute, Wissam Ben Yader continued his excellent season and made it 1: 1. When it seemed that Monaco were on their way to turning the score around, Muffy came again, and in the 68th minute the 21-year-old striker completed a great double. The guest already felt its victory, but then in the 93rd minute Ben Yader was there again, and with a huge kick from the extension he set up a particularly dramatic 2: 2 and reached 13 league goals this season.
90 + 3 ′ YEEEESSSSSS 💥@WissBenYedder you legend 🙌 A late, late goal looks to have kept our unbeaten run going…

Run – st. Etienne 2: 0
The host missed a tremendous opportunity to get closer to Monaco, but stumbled against the 15th-ranked team, which in turn managed to escape the burning bottom. Dennis Boanga found the net in the 27th minute, and in the second half 22-year-old Arnaud Nordin set up the game with a beautiful performance when he took control of a not-so-simple ball and fired into the net. In the next cycle set. Etienne will host Reims for an important bottom battle, while Ran will face Lorraine and hope to recover from the home loss.
