Nice 0-1 Montpellier

But: Mollet (80^e) for MHSC

This is called a nice heist.

Nice perfectly illustrated the adage that dominating is not winning in football, against Montpellier who managed the perfect shot at the end of the game thanks to Florent Mollet. The second place will wait for the Aiglons.

A good cross from Andy Delort towards Amine Gouiri, who controls perfectly before hitting over by turning around (12^e). From the first minutes, the connection between the two Nice strikers seemed to work well, but in reality it was already the biggest opportunity in the first 45 minutes. Stephy Mavidi hits him next (17^e), and the 22 actors chain the errors failing to create shifts.

We must therefore be patient and wait for the return of the locker room to see the Aiglons finally authorize the mushroom. Without success. Omlin intervenes in front of Gouiri (47^e) then Da Cunha (53^e), before seeing Lemina’s strike succeeds on the crossbar (54^e). In the absence of Téji Savanier, the Hérault residents are struggling to offer a game and put on the cons, in vain. Until this balloon left lying around in the area of ​​Walter Benítez, perfectly exploited by Mollet to offer a surprise victory to his family (0-1, 80^e). Nice may try, nothing succeeds for Christophe Galtier’s men who therefore give up their place of runner-up to RC Lens.

And that’s how we get the first defeat at home for Nice, and the first away victory for Montpellier.
