Goalkeeper Donovan Leon was in fine form as reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain were held to a goalless draw by hosts Auxerre in Ligue 1.
Léon's string of superb saves thwarted PSG's attacking stars, who went goalless for the first time this season on Friday.
After a fairly even first 45 minutes, PSG camped in the Auxerre half but could not find a way past León, who made memorable stops from Gonçalo Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Kang-In Lee, Désiré Nonka-Maho and Randal Kolo Muani.
Vitinha saw one curling shot come back off the bar.
PSG had 25 shots to Auxerre's six and 15 corners to Auxerre's three but the home side still could have stolen all three points, as PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had to make a smart stop from Hamed Traorè.
PSG remained eight points clear on top of Ligue 1, while Auxerre are eighth.
At the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Canadian striker Jonathan David scored two and made another as Lille brushed past Brest 3-1 to extend their unbeaten run to 10 games in the league.
The last time Lille lost to Brest at home was in 1989 and that long run never looked likely to fall as David turned in a man-of-the-match performance.
He put Lille ahead from the penalty spot after nine minutes and he got away from his marker and crossed for Hákon Haraladsson to clip home a second just before half-time.
Ludovic Ajorque got one back for Brest early in the second half but David restored Lille's two-goal cushion when he pounced on a loose ball to slide home his team's third.
David's goals took his season total to 17 in 23 games. Those were his 10th and 11th in the league and lifted him to the top of the Ligue 1 goal-scoring chart.
Lille joined Marseille and Monaco in second place on 26 points.
