Orel Mangala scored the only goal of the match, in the 22nd minute. Anthony Lopez made numerous saves and saved the Lyonnais.

Lyon moved up two places in the ranking and overtook Nantes and Le Havre to settle in 11th place. OGC Nice continues a third match without a victory, after its draw in Brest (0-0) and its defeat against Monaco (2-3). In the event of a Parisian victory on Saturday evening, the Aiglons would find themselves 14 points behind the leader, and could be overtaken by Monaco and Brest.
