Marseille defeated for the first of Aubameyang, Lille made Belgian porridge, Monaco and Lens chained … Here is what to remember from the friendly matches played this Saturday by the Ligue 1 clubs.
In full psychodrama Mbappé, PSG was not on deck this Saturday the day after its 2-0 success against Le Havre in Poissy. On the other hand, it played for a plethora of other Ligue 1 clubs, in France and abroad. Panorama of tricolor performances.
Marseille bows, Aubameyang not far from his first goal
It was a day of firsts for OM: that of a first defeat for Marcelino at the head of the Olympians, and the great first for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Marseille jersey. Facing KAS Eupen, a Belgian first division club, the Marseillais might have deserved better than this narrow defeat on a headed goal from Brandon Baiye (1-0, 12th).
Timorous in the first period despite a bar from Jonathan Clauss (6th), they got more chances after the entry into play of their new offensive star after the break. Aubameyang did not score, finding the post at the end of the match (90th), but the Gabonese was able to start to take his marks in attack, number 10 of Dimitri Payet on the back.

Offensive fireworks for LOSC, Lens takes a double hit
The Lille themselves had no problems finding the net. Paulo Fonseca’s men spent no less than seven at Cercle Bruges (7-2), machine-gunned by Jonathan David (quadruple) and rookie Hakon Haraldsson (triple), definitely full of promise. A great day for the Mastiffs, who formalized the arrival of Samuel Umtiti and are waiting for several circles, as confirmed by the Lille coach after the meeting.
The Lensois neighbor also offered two pleasant matches, with a first 3-0 victory against Sochaux at the start of the day, at the heart of the news in recent days. Young winger Ayanda Sishuba, a Belgian U18 international who joined the pro group this summer, scored twice and scored points in the spirit of Franck Haise to hope to join the rotation. A few hours later, the Sang et Or played again and won against Dijon (2-0), with a new clean sheet at stake.
Nice and Monaco win, Toulouse and Clermont stumble
To conclude his internship in England, Monaco, winner of Betis on Wednesday (1-3), offered the scalp of Leeds (0-2), relegated to the Championship. The Monegasques twice deceived the French goalkeeper Illan Meslier thanks to Wissam Ben Yedder (60th) and Kevin Volland (77th). It was less simple on the other hand for Nice and Rennes, difficult winners of Montpellier (1-0) and Concarneau (1-2), club of National 2.
The promoted Messin managed his duel well against Troyes (0-3), with in particular a goal from Georges Mikautadze, the best pyrotechnician in Ligue 2 last season. Toulouse and Clermont lost against Werder Bremen (2-5) and Saint-Etienne (2-0). Successor to Philippe Montanier, TFC coach Carles Martinez Novell has still not won in three friendly matches with his new team (1 draw, 2 losses). Finally Brest won 2-1 against Concarneau, promoted to Ligue 2.
