Olympique Marseille continued its unbeaten start to the French Ligue 1 with a hard fought 1-0 win away at newly promoted Le Havre courtesy of a Boudewijn Zenden goal in the 55th minute.
The win lifted Marseille to seven points ahead of defending champions Olympique Lyon on goal difference after Lyon defeated previous leaders Grenoble 2-0 in the late Saturday kick off courtesy of first half goals from Jean Makoun and Karim Benzema.

Other games saw Nancy draw goalless at home to Toulouse while Paris Saint Germain drew 1-1 at Sochaux. Same result was recorded at the match between Monaco and SM Caen while Le Mans defeated St Etienne 1-0.
