Bordeaux 3-2 Le Mans
PSG 1-2 Auxerre
Nantes 1-1 Rennes
Lille 1-1 Nice
Marseille 1-3 Lyon
Lyon are not taking the loss of their crown lightly and are determined to have their say in who succeeds them. Karim Benzema scored a 30th minute penalty against the run of play to give Lyon the lead and he added a second before the break. Marseille pegged one back through Sylvain Wiltord with ten minutes to go, but Juninho's long range free-kick sealed the win. That meant Bordeaux ended the weekend with the initiative after labouring to a 3-2 win over Le Mans. Anthony Le Tallec put the nothern side ahead, but Bordeaux went ahead through Marouane Chamakh and Yoann Gourcuff, who is in talks regarding extending his stay at the club. Le Tallec squared the game up once again, but Marc Planus was johnny-on-the-spot to turn in a winner quarter of an hour from time.
PSG lost ground on Lyon in the race for Champions League football, going down to Auxerre. Ibrahima Camara's penalty gave Auxerre the lead before that man Ireneusz Jelen grabbed a spectacular second which rendered Stephane Sessegnon's late goal mere consolation. Toulouse also dropped points, away at St Etienne. Les Verts really needed all three and were 2-1 ahead with two minutes to go after Bayal Sall's opener and Aruajo Ilan's penalty which restored the lead after Moussa Sissoko's equaliser. But it was André-Pierre Gignac who popped up with a late goal to snatch a point.
Le Havre's misery is finally over. They're down following a 1-1 draw at Lorient, for whom a point is all but useless. Mamadou Diallo put Le Havre ahead, but Marama Vahirua's free-kick denied them even the chance of going down fighting. Nantes also drew, at home to Rennes, and remain in the relegation places. Again, it was the side down at the bottom who led, Mamadou Bagayoko putting Nantes ahead, but Moussa Sow denied them all three points seven minutes from time. The big winners at the bottom were Caen for whom Steve Savidan got both goals against Sochaux who they exchange place with. Valenciennes aren't quite safe yet following their draw with Monaco, John Audel equalising after Park Chu-Young put the Monagasques ahead.
In mid-table, Lille and Nice fought out a 1-1 draw, Yohan Cabaye equalising for Lille who preserve a tremendous home record after Anthony Modeste's opener and Grenoble and Nancy failed to muster a goal between them.
