Lens gave the stick
In the 11th minute, it was Facundo Medina who was guilty of the first foul. Pushed into his recovery and moved by Mohamed Ali-Cho, the latter sped up and had no trouble finding Terem Moffi who slotted home (0-1, 11th). Without the success of Eli Vahi, very inaccurate (seven shots, only one on target), Lens left Nice ahead in the score without Jim showing excessive offensive activity.
On his way back from the locker room, Wahi thought he could tie the two teams but his goal was disallowed for an offside position. Less than a minute later, Nampalis Mendy missed his lateral transmission, on a ball within 20 meters of the lens. Recovered by Cho, the ball raced to Khefren Thuram, who beat Bryce Samba with the flat of his right foot (2-0, 53rd).
Nice on the podium door
In the 67th minute, the match was decisively over when Abdukodir Khusanov came to round Rosario in his area at a corner, and the penalty was perfectly converted by Moffi (3-0, 67th). But ten minutes later, Wahi’s brilliant goal on a left-foot rebound (3-1, 76th) reignited Bolarte. But Dante and his teammates stayed solid to achieve a valuable success and finished fourth in the standings (43 points), overtaking his evening opponent (6th, 42 points).
The Aiglons could move down a place in the event of Lille’s success in Brest on Sunday (1 pm). One thing is certain: the battle for the podium is getting tougher.
