Capable of racing in the lead for long, very long minutes, LOSC let three precious points slip away at the last second on the pitch of OGC Nice (2-2). This is a tenth consecutive match without a loss in all competitions.
Traveling to Nice this Sunday, after some mechanical setbacks at takeoff, LOSC was conquering far from its bases, but did not necessarily impose itself. Opposed to the Aiglons, the Mastiffs bit from the first quarter of an hour with a first goal from Matias Fernandez-Pardo in Ligue 1 (17'). Total efficiency for the Belgian who shook the net with his first shot in the championship. The end of the first half hour rhymed with the awakening of Nice and offensives which brought increasing danger. However, he lacked presence in the area to equalize, good for Lucas Chevalier. The latter still had to lose after returning from the locker room, on a goal from Sofiane Diop, who came on during the break, who took a cross from close range (56').
An identical scenario then repeated itself. After a slow time, LOSC attacked again and quickly confirmed their domination through Bakker (66′), despite a post from Benjamin André a few seconds earlier. The Mastiffs tried to press again and again, without succeeding. They then gradually lost control, giving the lead more and more early to the Aiglons who took advantage of a set piece to score in the final moments. This time, while the uprights had twice thwarted the plans of the Northerners (Gudmundsson 81′, Diakité 86′), the post smiled on the Niçois who equalized at the last second (90+6′).
