Evian Thonon Gaillard secured a notable victory by claiming their second consecutive win in Ligue 1, defeating Toulouse 2-1 on the 12th day of the French championship. Despite an initial goal from the Ivorian Serge Aurier, Evian mounted a comeback with goals from Daniel Wass and the Congolese Mongongu, earning them three crucial points.
Reims demonstrated their prowess with a comfortable 4-2 win against Bastia, thanks in large part to the impressive performance of Prince Oniangue.

Sochaux, still seeking their first win in Ligue 1 under Hervé Fox, were held to a 0-0 draw by Saint-Étienne, who played with 10 men after Zouma’s violent tackle resulted in Guerbert suffering a fractured ankle.
Valenciennes secured their second victory of the season with a 3-1 triumph over Ajaccio, with Franco-Togolese Mathieu Dossevi among the scorers.
Lyon put an end to their five-game winless streak by defeating Guingamp 2-0, courtesy of goals from Gomis and Lacazette.
