Coach Bruno Genesio had warned that ending the negative run was vital before an eight‑match marathon in 28 days. The squad’s task was compounded by the injury to Danish midfielder Pierre‑Emile Højbjerg during the FIFA window and the suspension of captain Timothy Weah after a red card against Paris Saint‑Germain. Genesio stressed the need for resilience despite the setbacks.

Earlier, Rennes surged to third place with a 4‑1 victory over Auxerre. Meanwhile Nice, after falling behind, turned the game around to beat Strasbourg 2‑1.
