LIVE – Nice-Monaco: the derby launched and more animated
Golovin opens his foot too much! (0-0)
What an opportunity for Monegasques! Launched by a subtle and very well felt deviation from Embolo, Golovine sinks into the surface and opens his right foot. A little too much, it passes right next to the post!
Yellow card for Camara
The Monegasque environment is sanctioned by the referee, he who had come, like many of his partners, to contest an arbitration decision.
The Monegasques do not fit
Monaco continues to press and nibble space in the opposing half. On a placed attack, Badiashile sees his shot blocked, before Golovin sends a half-volley in the air.
Hard blow for the people of Nice and Atal, who leaves
The Algerian piston will not be able to continue. He leaves, replaced by the versatile Lotomba.
The (new) tile for Atal
Accustomed to physical glitches, Atal remains on the ground along the sideline. The piston requested the change after accelerating, coming to a dead stop.
Grandpa’s big volley! (0-0)
It was enough to say that we did not see Grandpa for the former Gunner to stand out! Served by a clever delivery from Delort in the area, the Ivorian did not ask any questions and fired an overpowering volley that Nübel captured in two stages thanks to his good positioning!
Statistics
The record of confrontations (9) between Nice and Monaco at the Allianz Riviera in Ligue 1 is perfectly equipped: 4 successes each, while the most recent had been equipped with a draw (2-2 in September 2021).
Monaco is gaining momentum
The Niçois abuse long balls, and struggle to settle in the opposing half or to find Pépé in particular. The Monegasques took the lead in this meeting, but must now be dangerous for Schmeichel.
Fofana and Ramsey do not let go
There has been a big physical duel between Fofana and Ramsey for a few minutes. The two men seek and gauge each other, the Monegasque is at the limit on his new muscular intervention on the Welshman.
Dante in the right place
Very good intervention from the Brazilian central defender, who pulls out from the top of his mop of hair a very dangerous cross from the left. Embolo lagged behind.
Impactful camera
The Monegasques grow bolder over the minutes, and begin to win in the middle battle. Camara is valuable in the heart of the game.
The lenient referee with Fofana
Small call to order from referee Fofana, who came to prevent Ramsey from taking a free kick quickly. Next time it’s yellow.
The first firecracker is from Nice! (0-0)
Good projection of the Aiglons with a lot of work from Laborde which transplants towards the axis. He sees the tumble of Atal on the right and serves it. The piston unleashes a heavy uncontrolled strike that Nübel captures in two stages!
Thuram good at reading
Badiashile tries to break the lines with a low pass on the ground towards his attackers, but Thuram reads the trajectory well and recovers in the middle.
It’s derby atmosphere
Both players and supporters are quite excited. The contacts are numerous and frank, the encouragement is boiling for the Niçois, who leave the ball a little more to the Monegasques now.
Nübel is not shy
A bit hazardous exit from Nübel, who goes to seek Delort to the outside of the surface and forces him to move away to center then. Laborde’s handing over of the head does not benefit a Niçois afterwards.
Les Aiglons smoke things in hand
Under the explosions of several pyrotechnic devices, we find Nice in possession of the ball since the start of the match, and who seek to project themselves quickly in front.
Let’s go to the Allianz Riviera! (0-0)
It was the Monegasques who kicked off this closing match of the 6th day of Ligue 1!
Kick-off is imminent!
The players entered the lawn of a boiling Allianz Riviera, accompanied by the referee of the meeting, Benoît Millot.
And a surprise with the presentation of a brand new recruit from Nice!
It was Ross Barkley, left free by Chelsea, who then joined the Aiglons. International English has just been introduced at the Allianz Riviera.
ASM must take off
Monaco, for its part, remains on a surprise defeat against Troyes, at home. Philippe Clément’s players have not won in L1 since the first day.
The Aiglons finally launched?
Nice finally found colors by going to win, Wednesday during the previous day, on the lawn of LOSC (1-2). After this first success of the season, the Aiglons of Lucien Favre will want to continue in this derby which sent the powder.
The Monegasque eleven
Surprise, Wissam Ben Yedder on the bench. Breel Embolo is the starter, surrounded by Alexandre Golovine and Krépin Diatta.
The composition of Nice with Laborde holder
Reformation of the Laborde-Delort duo, this time in Nice. Nicolas Pépé accompanies them in front. Aaron Ramsey and Khéphren Thuram are lined up in the middle.
A derby of misclassified
Nice and Monaco, two ambitious people who are having a complicated start to the season. Because tonight, it is the 14th who faces the 16th.
The people of Nice have arrived
With the latest recruit from Rennes, Gaëtan Laborde.
