The two protagonists could grab the third place that Monaco did not want this evening. Nice first had a very good first period, marked by the injury exit of Pablo Rosario, one of its captains. Jonathan Clauss' right foot reassured Lucas Chevalier's condition: he is not inhuman. Author of two splendid saves at the start of the match on Laborde then Sofiane Diop, the Lille goalkeeper released the center of the former Lens side into Diop's feet (0-1, 29^e). Tanguy Ndombélé could have doubled the lead, but found the bar (45^e +2).

With Ismaily, André Gomes and Mitchel Bakker now accustomed to chaining right-midfield cakes, Lille changed gear in the second half. Jonathan David timed to perfectly offset Hákon Haraldsson in the area (1-1, 48^e). Surface in which Nice fumbled to offer Bafodé Diakité the winning goal (2-1, 63^e). As against Reims and Marseille, the center is well placed, at the right time. Nice then pushed, Haise made a quadruple change at once (77^e), but Lille is unsinkable this season.
