OGC Nice confirmed its good momentum by winning 2-1 against Strasbourg on the 12th day of Ligue 1. A victory won with pain, but marked by the brilliant performance of Moroccan international Sofiane Diop.
However, everything was not easy for the people of Nice. Trailing at the start of the match, the Aiglons were able to turn things around thanks to a better second half, of which the Moroccan attacking midfielder was the main architect.
In the 54th minute, Sofiane Diop delivered a perfect assist for Melvin Bard, who equalized with an unstoppable strike for the Strasbourg goalkeeper. This luminous pass highlighted the technical class of the Lion of the Atlas. A few minutes later, following a collective action initiated by Diop, an own goal from Sylla allowed Nice to take the advantage.
The Nice number 10 left the field in the 74th minute to loud applause from the public. His influence on his team’s play was decisive. Diop once again showed that his injury is now in the past, and that the best is yet to come. This season, he has 2 goals and 2 assists in Ligue 1.
Thanks to this success, Nice remains undefeated since mid-September in the league and consolidates its place at the top of the table.
