Nice-Brest, the shock gives birth to a mouse

Niçois and Brestois parted back to back with a goalless draw this Sunday.

At the start of this 7e day of Ligue 1, Stade Brestois was leader of the championship, with OGC Nice hot on its heels. For the 10th anniversary of the Allianz-Riviera, the Aiglons were unable to take control of the elite, confined to a goalless draw by solid Bretons.

Relatively balanced, the debates saw both teams focus on defending well – which they did perfectly. Even if it means sacrificing somewhat the offensive audacity to the great displeasure of Laborde who at the end of the game said to himself “ disappointed » by the lessons of this summit shock.

On the side of SB29, which loses the lead of the championship to the benefit of a victorious AS Monaco the day before OM at Louis-II (3-2), we prefer to see the glass half full like Chardonnet, who happily settles for the second tier, in the wake of the Rocher club (leader on goal difference, +8 against +2). Nice, like Reims, is only one length behind this tandem. Just ahead of PSG, fifth.
