Discover our tops and our flops following Nice's victory against Strasbourg (2-1) this Sunday on the pitch of the Allianz Riviera during the closing match of the 12th day of Ligue 1.
The tops
Cho led the charge
He was without a doubt the most active Niçois, especially in a first period during which Nice was in difficulty in front of its public. Mohamed-Ali Cho did not count his efforts to allow the Aiglons to hang on and then make the difference after the break. His liveliness notably opened up gaps in the Strasbourg rearguard despite a strong propensity to lose the ball. He gave way to Badredine Bouanani for the final moments of the match.
Andrey Santos present
We can understand that Chelsea leaders are considering repatriating him. Andrey Santos confirmed his very good form with a solid performance in midfield. The Strasbourg captain was almost impossible to beat in the duels, which allowed him to recover good recovery balls, he who enjoyed a good quality of passing. He was one of the rare elements to have succeeded in his match this Sunday in Nice.
Diop at work
Placed at the heart of the Nice attack in an unusual tactical system, Sofiane Diop knew how to struggle. Despite the waste inherent in his risk-taking, the number 10 of the Aiglons was at the origin of the equalizer thanks to his good vision of the game to serve Melvin Bard on a board. He also caused the Strasbourg error which gave Nice victory in this meeting/LINK]. A performance not necessarily perfect but convincing.
The flops
Sylla, a fatal error
Abakar Sylla may regret this untimely intervention on an opening by Sofiane Diop. A poorly felt back pass turned into an own goal which sealed the fate of this meeting. Which tarnishes a record that could have been satisfactory. In the process, he gave way to Sekou Mara in a Strasbourg attempt to overturn the table, which was not crowned with success.
Boga against the tide
Jérémie Boga was not in his best form. Placed on the left wing of the Nice attack, the Ivorian international touched few balls and did not improve those who were able to reach him. Failing to hit the target on his two attempts, he faltered in the duels and his crosses were not well felt. It is almost logical that he gave way to Tanguy Ndombele for the last quarter of an hour.
Nanasi in the hard
The bad patch is confirmed for Sebastian Nanasi. Convincing during his first matches with Strasbourg, the Swedish international is marking time and his performance this Sunday in Nice confirms it. Lacking any impact on the Riviera defense, he was put in difficulty in the duels and was unable to make the difference from a technical point of view. A performance which will remain to be forgotten concerning him and which did not help the Alsatian club to raise its head.
