Overtaken in the Europa League, OGC Nice displays a completely different face in the championship.
Thanks to goals from Evann Guessand (7e) and Mohamed Ali Cho (51e), Franck Haise’s men dominated Olympique de Marseille, this Sunday evening at the Allianz Riviera, at the end of the 19e day of Ligue 1.
Brassier’s misfortunes
The Riviera’s top scorer took advantage of Lilian Brassier’s mistakes.
Transferred from Brest this summer, the central defender made a number of bad choices to open the scoring: a poor restart, a missed interception and a disastrous save on the line weighed down Marseille’s hopes in this shock.
The Marseille rearguard broke down again after returning from the locker room, with a perfect serve from Guessand to Cho from deep. Quicker than Murillo, the former Angevin crossed his shot at ground level to surprise Géronimo Rulli.
-Impeccable refereeing, a very dull OM
There is no dispute about this Nice success, even if their goalkeeper Marcin Bulka made a few decisive saves (40e55e) to preserve their score advantage.
The Marseille leaders will not have to complain about the refereeing of Mr. Wattelier, impeccable this Sunday evening. They will be more likely to blame Roberto de Zerbi’s players, who are too borrowed to hope to bring something back from the Côte d’Azur.
The Niçois one point off the podium
Definitely very solid at home, the Aiglons climbed to fourth place, a small point from the podium and their Monegasque rival. Conversely, the Phocaeans miss the opportunity to get closer to the Parisian leader and see their place as runner-up threatened by the ASM.
