Stade Louis II Monaco 1 - 1 Caen

Stade Marcel Picot AS Nancy Lorraine 0 - 0 Toulouse
77′ Issiar Dia (Red Card)

A nil-nil stalemate was always on the cards as these two low scoring sides took each other on. Other then a late red card for Issiar Dia, there was not much to talk about.

Jules-Deschaseaux Le Havre AC 0 - 1 Marseille
56′ 0 - 1 Boudewijn Zenden
90′ Ronald Zubar (Red Card)

Marseille labored to a win against promoted side Le Havre with a goal by the forgotten man Bolo Zenden. The lack of offensive punch is clearly evident after the loaning of Djibril Cisse to Sunderland, with Mamadou Niang and Baki Kone still not clicking. The possible arrival of Mamadou Samassa from Le Mans may help things, but I say let Elliot Grandin have a go with a start. Le Havre have had a decent start to their campaign, and will look to nik a point on the road to Nancy next weekend.

Review may be up soon here.

Leon-Bollée Le Mans 1 - 0 St Etienne
38′ Thorstein Helstad 1 - 0

Le Mans got a morale boosting home victory over the impressive St. Etienne with a goal by new boy Thorstein Helstad. Le Mans will look for a further three points next weekend against lowly Nantes, while St. Etienne will need to stay focused to challenge for a European place. The macth, from what I read, was a little dull, but oh well.

Stade Bonal Sochaux 1 - 1 PSG
50′ Mevlut Erding (pen) 1 - 0
63′ 1 - 1 Stephane Sessegnon

The less then flashy Sochaux took on the much hyped PSG in an entertaining match that proved two things. PSG still have a ways to go before challenging for the title, and Sochaux should be safe in mid-table come season end.

Stade Nungesser Valenciennes 3 - 1 Lorient
3′ Grégory Pujol 1 - 0
32′ Johan Audel 2 - 0
51′ 2 - 1 Kevin Gameiro
90′ Luigi Pieroni 3 - 1

Valenciennes scored 3 goals, which may sound like a lie, but Gregory Pujol and Johan Audel have continued where they left last year with a pair of first half goals. Young promise Kevin Gamiero got off the mark for new club Lorient but it wasnt enough as Luigi Pieroni scored the final goal in stoppage time. Lorient will need to improve, as Christian Gourcuff’s team is looking like a relegation canidate early on.

Stade de Gerland Lyon 2 - 0 Grenoble
6′ Jean Makoun 1 - 0
37′ Karim Benzema 2 - 0

Grenoble’s fairy tale entrance into Ligue 1 ended as they were thoroughly beaten by Lyon. Better finishing from Lyon could have seen the score much higher, and Lyon are now the only team to have not conceded a goal this year. Grenoble will look to move on and focus on their next game, at home to Monaco.

Route de Lorient Rennes 2 - 1 Lille
34′ 0 - 1 Yohan Cabaye
90′ Bruno Cheyrou 1 - 1
90′ Moussa Sow 2 - 1

Rennes continued to leave it late with two injury time goals to best Lille. Lille boss Fredric Hanz may be feeling the heat a bit after an embaressing loss, but the season is young and both these teams should challenge for a UEFA Cup spot this year.

Review should be up soon here.

Abbe-Deschamps Auxerre 0 - 1 Nice
29′ 0 - 1 Alaeddine Yahia

Welcome the Auxerre Offside everybody, we are continuing to expand our Ligue 1 coverage, and as always if you interested, let me know and Ill try and set you up. Laurie may have something up as well here.

Chaban-Delmas Bordeaux 2 - 0 Nantes
6′ Fernando Cavenaghi (pen) 1 - 0
86′ Fernando Menegazzo 2 - 0

The Cavenaghi train keeps a rolling as he scores another goal for Bordeaux as they down sorry Nantes. Nantes boss Mikeal Der Zakarian now faces a gloomy future if his troops cant put 3 points on the board, but to be honest, it looks like one and done for Nantes, who will be heading right back down to Ligue 2.
