Olympique Lyon extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to 12 points by
holding arch rivals St Etienne to a 0-0 draw at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on
Sunday.
The four times champions, who have 44 points from 18 games, remain the only
unbeaten side in the major European leagues this season but failed to score for
the first time this term.
Second-placed Auxerre lost 1-0 at Olympique Marseille on Saturday while
Girondins Bordeaux, a further point back in third, were beaten 1-0 at Le Mans.
Paris St Germain moved into fourth place after two-goal Pauleta gave them a
2-0 home win over Stade Rennes.
NETHERLANDS
AZ Alkmaar lead a three-way tie at the top of the first division following a
3-1 win at Twente Enschede on Saturday.
Second-half goals by Stein Huysegems, Danny Koevermans and Denny Landzaat
steered Alkmaar to victory after they trailed to a first-half own goal from
Martijn Meerdink.
After 15 matches, AZ, Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven all have 35 points.
Feyenoord beat PSV 1-0 on Sunday thanks to a seventh-minute goal from Dirk
Kuijt.
