In need of results this season, Nice signed its third victory in the championship at the expense of Lyon, this Saturday, as part of the 8e act of League 1. Thanks to Bard (5e), Diop (35e) and Boudaoui (55e), the Aiglons won 3-2, just upset by Sulc's double (29e90e+5) while Maitland-Niles missed a penalty (53e).
Beyond this second consecutive setback for OL who are missing the opportunity to temporarily dethrone PSG, an incident punctuated this poster. An arbitration interruption for songs deemed homophobic at the very end of the match. Without any discernment according to the officials present, the commentators and Internet users on the Web.
At the 86e minute, the Allianz Riviera has made a habit of paying tribute to the victims of the attack of July 14, 2016 on the Promenade des Anglais. An Islamist terrorist truck ram attack which left 86 dead and 458 injured. The traditional tribute was joined by the customary “Daesh we enc you…” launched by the Populaire Sud and repeated throughout the stadium. Which motivated the suspension of the match by Mr. Brisard.
Very quickly, however, the debates were able to resume after a brief consultation with officials from the Professional Football League on the sidelines. And this while the Nice public began to sing again. The speaker at the Riviera venue, clearly upset by the request from the refereeing body, still had to call on the spectators to exercise restraint.
