The OGC Nice had a lot to win this Sunday evening in conclusion of 25e act of the French championship. At home, the Niçois in the event of a victory in Lyon, could claim second place in the elite occupied until then by OM. The direct consequence of the defeat of the Marseillais the day before against Lens (0-1 at the Vélodrome).

Yes, but here, despite a clear domination in the first period, and a formidable dynamic built on four wins of ranks in Ligue 1, the Aiglons failed, surprised by gones who waited for the last quarter of an hour to get out of their box and strike twice, a blow. For a potentially decisive 0-2 success in the race for Europe.

A first this season for Nice

To do this, it took the entry into the game of a Cherki left on the bench to kick off by an Fonseca relegated to the stands – suspension obliges – with de facto repositioning in the axis of Almada. The Vista of the International Hopes Tricolor and the Vision of Game of the Young Argentinian then sparked, with the opening of the Lyonnaise score just one minute after the launch of the Bleuet aroused (0-1, 78e).

In the process, the same Almada served Nuamah this time, also entered late, for the goal of break and ko (0-2, 83e). The gym concedes its first defeat of the championship season there at the Allianz Riviera, and remains third in the three -point ranking from OM, with two units ahead of Monaco and Lille. Lyon, sixth, returns four lengths from his host of the day. So a direct ticket for the next edition of the Champions League.
