Matchday Two: What are the key stats?
Check out all the key stats from Matchday 2 of Ligue 1 McDonald's.
2
AS Monaco is the only team to have won its first two Ligue 1 McDonald's matches. A feat not seen since the summer of 2008 with Grenoble Foot 38!
4
In scoring a fine brace at Stade Louis-II during AS Monaco's victory over OM (2-0), Paris Brunner netted the first two goals of his Ligue 1 McDonald's career. Including the Conference League play-offs, the young German forward (20) has already tallied 4 goals in 4 matches across all competitions.
43
2018 World Cup winner and new Le Mans signing Djibril Sidibe was sent off just 43 seconds after coming on as a substitute during the match between Rennes and Le Mans (3-2). The defender became the substitute to receive a red card fastest in a Ligue 1 McDonald's match since Opta began tracking such data (2006/07).
7
Scoring twice on Sunday, Rennes forward Estéban Lepaul has found the net in each of his last 7 Ligue 1 McDonald's matches. One goal in his next game would see him equal Hervé Guermeur's Rennes record (8 games between April and August 1972). Estéban Lepaul is the second player from the Breton club to achieve this feat in the 21st century, following Martin Terrier in March–April 2022.
24
While playing his 200th top-flight match on Saturday against Toulouse (2-2), Brest forward Ludovic Ajorque scored his 68th goal—his 24th with a header. This stands as a record in Ligue 1 McDonald's since Opta began tracking such data (2006/07).
15
Beaten by a Renaud Ripart penalty during FC Lorient's 2-1 loss to ESTAC on Saturday, Lorient goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo has failed to save any of the 15 penalties he has faced in Ligue 1 (conceding 14 goals, with one shot hitting the woodwork).
3
Rémi Labeau-Lascary scored his first goal for AJ Auxerre in Ligue 1 McDonald’s. He is the only player to have scored for three different top-flight clubs over the last three seasons (2 with Lens, 5 with Brest, 1 with AJA).
100
After scoring against Strasbourg (2-1), Lens captain Florian Thauvin reached the milestone of 100 Ligue 1 McDonald’s goals (10 with Bastia, 76 with OM, and 14 with Lens), becoming the first player to hit this mark since Kevin Gameiro did so for Strasbourg in March 2024. That is also 33 goals more than any other current top-flight player.
4
Having beaten RC Lens at La Meinau, RC Strasbourg Alsace has won its last four opening home matches.
39 - 322
After providing assists for Haraldsson and Bakwa during the draw between LOSC and PSG on Friday (2-2), Lille forward Olivier Giroud (39 years, 332 days old) became the oldest player to record two assists in a single match across Europe's top five leagues in the last 20 seasons.
2
By coming back from 0–2 down to 2–2 in the dying moments of their match at Lille, PSG achieved a remarkable feat: it is only the second time in the last 60 seasons that a team has avoided defeat despite trailing by two goals heading into stoppage time—the previous instance being Nice against Lyon on April 3, 2011 (also a 2–2 draw).
