Olympique Lyon took on Paris Saint-Germain in what was expected to be a highly contested encounter between the two French giants.
The visitors lead Ligue 1 with Lyon sitting in third 16 points adrift, but the outcome of this match still bears significance to the chasing pack.
A win would propel Lyon to within touching distance of second-placed Lille, who remain just three points clear.
It also creates breathing space between themselves and AS Saint-Étienne.
Third and seventh are only separated by six points, which makes every point valuable towards Champions League qualification.
Lyon have been in fine form with three wins and one draw in their last four league games, including a win over rivals Saint-Étienne.
They went into this match gunning for a positive result, and drawing inspiration from their dramatic late victory over PSG last season, where a monstrous strike from Memphis Depay helped Les Gones to a 2-1 victory.
