Berliner Tageblatt - Strasbourg snap Lyon winning run in Ligue 1

Lyon had won 13 consecutive games in all competitions but failed to equal the club record set in 2006.

Paulo Fonseca's side remain third on 45 points and nine back of league leaders and European champions Paris Saint-Germain. Lens are two points off the pace.

Lyon had early chances to take the lead but home side Strasbourg struck first when Martial Godo fired in his seventh goal of the season late in the first half.

They doubled that lead on 52 minutes with a long-range strike from Diego Moreira that took a wicked deflection.

Corentin Tolisso pulled one back for Lyon on the hour, but Strasbourg put the match to bed with Joaquin Panichelli's penalty seven minutes from time -- the Argentine forward's 13th league goal this term.

"We were too passive, but that's how football goes sometimes," Lyon defender Abner Vinicius said.

"We'll work it out and next week we'll be better."

Veteran striker Olivier Giroud's penalty gave Lille a 1-0 win at Angers which put them fifth and snapped a six-match winless streak in Ligue 1.

The 39-year-old former Arsenal and Chelsea forward fired a spot-kick into the bottom corner before the break to score his fifth league goal of the season.

A first win of 2026 sent Lille to within three points of Marseille and eight behind Lyon in the third and final direct Champions League qualifying spot.

"Above all it's three points but that will do us all a lot of good mentally," Lille captain Benjamin Andre said.

Fellow European hopefuls Rennes followed their 3-1 defeat of leaders Paris Saint-Germain last week with a 3-0 victory at Auxerre to stay level on points with Lille.

Nantes eased their relegation fears with a 2-0 home win over Le Havre, and Nice drew 3-3 with Lorient.
