Full-back Franck Tabanou scored the winner as Saint-Etienne remained in contention for a European place with a 1-0 win against Nantes in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Tabanou broke the deadlock in the 18th minute with a superb free-kick into the top corner from the left edge of the area.
Even though he was replaced shortly afterward following a clash with team-mate Loic Perrin, Saint-Etienne held on to boost their hopes of a top-four finish.
Marseille missed the chance to close to within two points of Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the table after slipping up 1-0 at Bordeaux in Sunday's late game.
Defender Cedric Yambere's 61st-minute goal, less than a minute after coming off the bench, sank Marseille and dealt their title hopes a massive blow.
Lille kept alive their slim hopes of European football next season as Sofiane Boufal's penalty gave them three precious points from a 1-0 win at Evian.
Boufal was brought down by Daniel Wass on his way to goal in the 81st minute and picked himself up to dispatch the spot-kick.
Ola Toivonen scored the winner 10 minutes from time with a volley at the near post to give Rennes a 1-0 win over Guingamp that guarantees the Brittany side top-flight football next season.
Toulouse took crucial points in the fight against relegation with a 1-0 win over Montpellier, courtesy of Oscar Trejo's first goal in two months after an assist from Wissam Ben Yedder.
There was no dream start to life in charge of Reims for Olivier Guegan as his side were beaten 1-0 by Nice.
A drop towards the relegation zone did for Jean-Luc Vasseur but former assistant Guegan was unable to get a winning beginning as Said Benrahma scored the only goal of the game.
Last-placed Lens created the best chances but lacked the cutting edge as they were held to a goalless draw by Lorient.
