The French men’s football championship had not known that for fourteen years. With 38 goals in the ten games of the 31and the day the Ligue 1 attacks had a great time: goals were scored on all grass pitches, and with the exception of Nice and Montpellier – beaten in Lens (0-3) and Marseille (0-2) respectively – all teams scored at least one goal this weekend.
