Here is what to remember from the Ligue 1 matches played on Sunday afternoon.
The sensation came from Bordeaux where Clermont, for the first Ligue 1 match in its history, won 2-0!
The jackpot: Clermont, winner 2-0 in Bordeaux!
First match in its history in Ligue 1 and first victory, on the outside what is more.
The promoted Clermont could not have dreamed of a better start in the top flight.
Happiness came at the end of the match from Mohamed Bayo, who scored closely in the air, following a discount from Rashani (0-1, 84th).
Bayo was crowned Ligue 2 top scorer last season, with 22 goals and 7 assists in 38 appearances.
The Clermont triumph was completed by a goal from Dossou, in added time (0-2, 90 + 3).
The perf: Angers, winner 2-0 at La Meinau
For his first match on the SCO bench, Gérald Baticle, who passed through Strasbourg during his playing career, led the Angevins to victory despite a Meinau stadium with 30,000 spectators.
Traoré opened the scoring with a malignant header (0-1, 57th), then Bahoken completed the victory of his own, following a de Cho, extended by Pereira Lage (0-2, 81st).
Former Racing, Bahoken elegantly refused to celebrate his goal.

The good point: Lorient to Saint-Etienne
Les Merlus won a good point at Geoffroy-Guichard by obtaining a 1-1 draw.
Vincent Le Goff, the left side from Lorient opened the scoring of a volley under the bar validated by goal line technology (0-1, 52nd).
Khazri equalized from the penalty spot (69th) but despite their pressing the Greens did not manage to snatch the victory.
The grimace: Nice held in check
Under the leadership of their new coach Christophe Galtier, logically upset at the final whistle, the Aiglons were powerless in their stadium to break through the five-man defense of the Stade de Reims.
The number: 13
By replacing Habib Diallo at the hour mark, Kevin Gameiro, 34, found the Meinau 13 years after leaving it, without however preventing the defeat of Strasbourg. Left free by Valencia at the end of June, the striker signed up for two seasons with Racing, notably declining a proposal from OM. Author of 16 goals in 67 matches (L1 and L2 combined), Gameiro was revealed with Strasbourg between 2005 and 2008 before exploding in Lorient (2008-2011) and signing for PSG Qatari version (2011-2013). The French international (13 caps) then spent eight seasons in Spain, between Atlético, Sevilla FC and Valencia.
