An own goal from defender Gautier Lloris — the younger brother of former France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris — gave Monaco the lead late in the first half. England defender Eric Dier made it 2-0 in the 61st minute. Le Havre's Rassoul Ndiaye pulled one back shortly after. Midfielder Maghnes Akliouche added Monaco's third in the 74th after being set up by captain Denis Zakaria. Having overturned relegation on appeal, Lyon has at least started the new season with a solid performance. Georgia forward Georges Mikautadze gave Lyon the lead just before halftime when he turned in a cross from Malick Fofana to the front post. Lens improved when new signing Florian Thauvin went on but could not find an equalizer. Later Saturday, Nice hosted Toulouse. Defending champion Paris Saint-Germain is at Nantes on Sunday. Marseille lost at Rennes 1-0 on Friday. ___ AP soccer:

Wolfsburg routs 5th-tier team Hemelingen 9-0 in German Cup, Leipzig also advances
BERLIN (AP) — Wolfsburg routed fifth-tier SV Hemelingen 9-0 in the first round of the German Cup on Saturday, when other Bundesliga teams also enjoyed big wins over lower-league opposition. Two-time champion Leipzig twice came from behind to beat fourth-tier SV Sandhausen 4-2 with new signings Ezechiel Banzuzi and Yan Diomande both scoring. Heidenheim won 5-0 at 10-man fourth-tier Bahlinger SC and Hoffenheim won 4-0 at third-division Hansa Rostock. Hamburger SV, which clinched its return to the Bundesliga last season, survived a scare at fifth-tier Pirmasens, equalizing late to send the match to extra time, where Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer headed the winner for 2-1. Königsdörffer was only playing for Hamburg because a proposed early August move to Nice broke down after his medical check with the French team. Bochum also needed a late goal to level before prevailing 3-1 at nine-man Dynamo Berlin. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. ___ AP soccer:
