Incredibly the top 4 teams all drew this round! First it was 2nd placed Lens, who only managed to grab a point versus 15th place Estac Troyes and further more they were lucky to do so, as they equalised in the 88th minute. The second important draw was between top 4 teams Marseille and Monaco. Monaco took the lead after an own goal, however Alexis Sanchez equalised for Marseille.

At the end of the round, we got the champions and 1st placed team PSG with yet another draw, only getting a point versus Reims. Neymar managed to score around the 50th minute, however Italian midfielder Verratti got a red card and it was all down hill after that. Reims scored in injury time.
