Ligue 1 Round 7 action at the Stade du Moustoir - Yves Allainmat in Lorient saw the hosts edge past Monaco 1-0 on a sunny afternoon with temperatures around 14 degrees. Lorient, set up in a 3-4-3 by coach Alexandre Dujeux, produced a disciplined performance against a Monaco side that enjoyed the stronger pre-match odds but struggled to convert possession into clear chances.

Monaco, marshalled by Filipe Luís in a 4-2-3-1, pushed for a response through the likes of Golovin, Minamino and later substitutes Balogun and Biereth, but the Lorient backline and goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo held firm to protect the clean sheet and secure all three points.
