Stunned by yet another continental disappointment this week, the Aiglons had the opportunity to make up for it this Sunday as part of the 15e lifting of Ligue 1. To do this, the Niçois faced a sick team – the red lantern from Montpellier – credited with only one point in its last three outings.
With Mosson mobilized as one man, the Gym was able to lead – twice – before finally settling for a draw (2-2). Laborde (17e) and Bouanani (28e) struck for the Azuréens, but Chotard (22e) and Sainte-Luce (80e) responded, allowing the MHSC to sign a meritorious draw (2-2).
In the standings, Montpellier unfortunately cannot be satisfied with such a result, relegated at this time to at least four lengths from the waterline. For Nice, sixth, greater Europe – therefore the podium – remains six lengths away.
