Jostled at home by the Rémois, the Nice players were successful to win on Sunday (2-1 – 15th day of Ligue 1). The Aiglons are four points behind PSG.
OGC Nice won again by the smallest of margins. Sunday, Francesco Farioli’s players defeated Stade de Reims (2-1) thanks in particular to a cruel error by the opposing goalkeeper.
Before this match on the 15th day of Ligue 1 played at home, the Aiglons had won 1-0 five times in the Championship. Enough to encourage their detractors to compare Nice’s gaming philosophy to grocer’s accounts.
If Laborde had opened the scoring with a clear strike at the start of the second period (1-0, 55th), the Niçois did not take advantage of the dynamic, dominated by the unlucky Rémois, initially, on the strike of Ito pushed back by the bar (67th).

Abdelhamid’s furious header finally rewarded the superiority of Will Still’s men in the game (1-1, 78th). And then Diouf’s tragic moment struck. The Reims goalkeeper saved his team at the feet of Todibo (81st) just before opposing a feverish hand to Boga’s strike (2-1, 82nd).
A week after falling for the first time this season in Ligue 1 (1-0 defeat in Nantes), OGC Nice moved forward, regaining its place as runner-up in the standings, four points behind PSG.
