What’s better than a derby against OM to get back on track? Nice, which remained on two consecutive defeats (at Lille and Elfsborg) and a disappointment in the Europa League, won the most important match of its week, dominating Marseille this Sunday evening (2-0).
Franck Haise’s men have achieved a superb operation in the standings as they move up to fourth place, one point behind Monaco in 3rd and 4 points behind OM, the runner-up to PSG. The Niçois, with an attack by Guessand, Laborde, Cho, made the Olympians suffer terribly and in particular Brassier, author of a double blunder which allowed Guessand to open the scoring in the 7th minute (1-0).
Laborde, with a scissor, was close to doubling the lead (36th). Merlin had the ball for the equalizer in the 40th minute, but Bulka saved his shot and that of Rongier in stride to maintain the advantage at the break. The only scare of the evening.
-Five minutes after the restart, Guessand again made the difference in power and ideally served Cho in depth who crossed his shot perfectly and deceived Rulli (2-0). The KO goal. De Zerbi made a triple change in the 60th minute (entrances from Rowe, Lirola and Vaz), but nothing changed.
In the wake of the great Dante, the Gym did not tremble and offered a good dose of happiness to the 31,000 spectators who came to the Allianz Riviera.
