Monaco and Lyon open their Ligue 1 campaigns with wins but Nice loses
PARIS -- Monaco opened its Ligue 1 campaign with a 3-1 home win against Le Havre and Lyon began with a 1-0 victory at Lens on Saturday. 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. Nice lost at home to Toulouse 1-0 after former France defender Djibril Sidibé scored in the last minute. It was the third straight game without scoring for Nice, after it lost both legs 2-0 to Benfica recently in Champions League qualifying. On Sunday, defending champion Paris Saint-Germain is at Nantes. Marseille lost at Rennes 1-0 on Friday, with United States winger Tim Weah making his Marseille debut as a second half substitute after joining from Juventus.

Dier on target as Monaco cruise to 3-1 win over Le Havre

An own goal by Le Havre defender Gautier Lloris put Monaco ahead in the 32nd minute. Former Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich player Dier doubled the hosts' lead shortly after the hour mark, finding the target off Lamine Camara's cross. Le Havre, who finished one point above the relegation playoff spot last season, struck back six minutes later with Rassoul Ndiaye cutting in from the left and finding the net near the far post with a low right-footed shot. The visitors pushed for an equaliser but paid the price for their high defensive line when Denis Zakaria ran up the empty space into the Le Havre box and crossed to Maghnes Akliouche for a close-range finish. Earlier, Olympique Lyonnais also got their campaign off to a winning start when Georges Mikautadze scored in added time before the break to give them a 1-0 win at RC Lens.
