In crisis, OM feels a little less alone in this final sprint for the Champions League. Like Marseille, which remains on four defeats in five games before receiving Toulouse on Sunday, Nice chained against Nantes a third setback in four games (1-2), this Friday evening at the opening of the 29e Ligue 1 day.
On his lawn of the Allianz Riviera, the gym cruelly failed in efficiency against the Canaries, falling on an Anthony Lopes several times decisive. Despite a clear domination in the game (21 shots at 8.7% of the ball possession), the players of Franck Haise have missed the opportunity to temporarily climb on the championship podium.
Nice slides out of the top 4
Worse, they are now guaranteed to slide out of the top 4 at the end of the weekend since Lyon, which accuses two lengths late, will receive Lille, which has the same number of points as them. Whatever the result of the shock between OL and LOSC, Saturday at Groupama Stadium (9:05 p.m.), the OGCN will lose its fourth chair.
This evening quickly went wrong for the Azureans, who saw Douglas Augusto open the scoring on a service of Moses Simon (0-1, 11e). If Ali Abdi quickly equalized (1-1, 14e), the Nantes resumed the advantage before half-time thanks to Matthis Abline (1-2, 38e). An excellent operation for the FCN, which takes six points ahead of Le Havre, the barragist.
