Nice regained provisional control of L1 by winning at Clermont this Friday evening (0-1).
A victory on the smallest of margins, this is the price applied by the people of Nice for a good month. Four times in the last five days, the Aiglons have inflicted similar punishment on their opponents. The latest this Friday are the Clermontois, surprised at Gabriel-Montpied with a single goal from Boudaoui, well served by Perraud in the heart of the second period (0-1, 74e).

Previously, Laborde had missed the mark and opened the scoring for the Gym in the 36the minute, of a penalty sent off target. The Auvergnats, for their part, did not fail as usual and were just short of success on this strike from Keita which hit the outside post in the last seconds of the game (90e). Insufficient to upset Nice which has still not lost, nor even been led this season.
Another clean sheet
With this seventh match without a goal conceded – in 10 outings – and this for a fifth clean sheet in a row, the Azuréens, thus equipped with the best defense in the elite with four small goals conceded, temporarily regain control of the League 1 in Monaco, which on Sunday will travel to Lille. The Parisian favorite for his part finds himself pushed back four lengths again, before a Sunday trip to Brest.
