Results:
Ligue 1 - Playday 1
Lorient 1 - 0 Monaco
1 penalty kick was enough to get 3 points tonight and it goes to Lorient.
Monaco is much less efficient at scoring compared to last year, they collected a single point in 2 games so far.

Lille 0 - 4 Nice
OUCH ! Defending champion is struggling to defend anything, 7 goals against in 2 games.
They could miraculously save a point last week but tonight they were absolutely nowhere.
Trailing 2 goals behind after 5 minutes, they couldn't pretend to come back.
ISSA NISSA ;)

Paris-SG 4 - 2 Strasbourg
A first goal after 3 minutes which could have been ruled out for offside, a red card a bit strict (but justified) and you have a controversial win for PSG as a result.
Anyway PSG is adding some buffer points against their biggest contenders, at that pace there won't be any fight for a title this year.
Neymar and Messi still not playing...

Angers 3 - 0 Lyon
And another one bite the dust... Lyon is also on a lame start.
Plus they are trying to oust their defender Marcelo, usually crisis is knocking at Lyon's door around October, apparently a bit earlier this year.

Reims 3 - 3 Montpellier
That's a draw but what a game !
5 goals during the first half, Montpellier took the lead, then Reims, then Montpellier again !
Finally Reims could get the draw after a goal from a good Kebbal (83').
Remember the duo Laborde-Delort last year ? Well they are still here and still scoring.

Brest 1 - 1 Rennes
The derby from Britanny !
No winner but a good game where Brest could snatch the draw in additional time (90+1').

Clermont 2 - 0 Troyes
That's exciting, promoted Clermont is now at the top of the rankings with 2 wins in 2 games.
Their best scorer added 2 goals and is now top scorer with 3 goals.
To be noted that Troyes played with a player less for more than an hour after Kabore was sent out.

Nantes 2 - 0 Metz
Nantes is showing a much better side of them compared to last season.
That was 6 games without win Ligue 1 before this one.

Lens 2 - 2 Saint-Étienne
Plenty of goal chances on both side, they could have both win this game.
But at the end there's no winner and they have to share the points ;)
Khazri seems hot and might score a lot again this season.

Marseille 2 - 2 Bordeaux
Payet is also starting this season pretty well, he scored again tallying 3 goals in 2 games.
But that wasn't enough for Marseille, we thought they'd done the difficult part of the job being 2 goals ahead at half time.
But Bordeaux came back with much better intentions after the break and could draw this game.

let me first appreciate for the simple summary you have made.

concerning Lille, honestly i am really disappointed in their performance because i expect them to perform better than what they are doing right now. If Nice who are having four different players injured are still defeating them 4-0 at this early stage of the season i think it is really a bad thing. i wonder how the team want to cope when they play team like PSG who are now having world class Messi in their team.

talking about PSG, though they won but i am also disappointed in their performance as well. they hardly win on clean sheet level. they always concede goal which i think is very bad. if they concede and play team that are very good defensive wise it wont be funny that they will loose the match.

i think PSG needs to solve the defensive issue but let see what will happen when Ramos play for the team. i am sure the squad will have a different shape. the truth is that the team needs to learn how to keep clean sheet.
