The Ligue 1 qualification round is the first stage of the season, where teams from the top four teams in the league qualify for the promotion play-offs. In this round, teams have to play at home against the strongest opponents from their own group.
In the first round, Lille made it through to the round of 16, with a 2-1 win over Lyon. This was a big step forward for the team as they now have to face the top two teams from their own group in order to progress.
Next up was Lorient, who faced the stronger opposition from their own group. They lost 4-0, but managed to get away with it thanks to some impressive performances by their players. The result was a disappointment for Lorient, who had the chance to reach the last 16 but couldn't do so.
After that, Nice played at home to Le Havre, who were also strong opposition from their own group. Nice won 5-1, with goals from Antoine Griezmann and Marouane Fellaini. This victory was another good result for Nice, who are now in third place in the table.
Finally, Lille made it through to the round of 16, facing Marseille. They lost 2-0, but did manage to make history by becoming the first French club to beat Marseille in a match. This was a major achievement for the team, and it will be interesting to see how they perform in the next round.
Overall, the Ligue 1 qualification round is a crucial stage for all teams involved. With only six rounds left in the season, the teams need to focus on improving their performances and securing places in the promotion play-offs. The result of the round of 16 could have a huge impact on which teams advance to the final round of the season, so it's important for each team to prepare well for what lies ahead.
