Launched on a series of twenty matches in a row without defeat, Bruno Genesio's Losc was however stifled for a long time by the Riviera's pressing despite the rapid loss of Rosario to injury (14', replaced by Ndombele). Chevalier had to make two saves, against Laborde (3') and Diop (13') to delay the visitors' opening score.
Clauss the best, then the worst
It finally arrived on yet another cake from Clauss, on which the Lille goalkeeper made a mistake by pushing the ball back into the feet of Diop, who only had to push the ball into the empty goal to score his fifth achievement in the League 1 of the season.
Dominant and attractive, OGC Nice on the other hand fell back after the break. More pushed to defend, the Aiglons gave in, starting with Clauss. The right back first opened up space for David's pass to Haraldsson (48', 1-1), then he involuntarily put the ball back on Diakité, from a corner, for the 2-1 (63').
-Less inspired in the pressing and the use of the ball, like a Ndombele out of breath or a Guessand not very sharp, Franck Haise's men even missed the equalizer at the very end of the match when Bard missed the target from close range (88').
It's a shame, there was room to do better…
