After a difficult period, OGC Nice won a major victory over FC Nantes, thanks to a decisive goal by Jérémie Boga. This success, the second of the season for the Aiglons, propels them to the top of the second half of the league 1 classification just before their participation in the Europa League. The meeting, initially perceived as balanced, saw Nice quickly take control, despite a strong Nantes defence and the remarkable interventions of the Dutch guard Anthony Lopes. Despite several missed opportunities by the Niçois in the first half, the match was unlocked thanks to Boga’s individual action and realism in the second period.

The Nice team was able to capitalize on its possession of ball and its created opportunities, but lacked precision in the finish. The victory against Nantes ended a series of seven unsuccessful games against this team, a series that had lasted since January 2022. This result is particularly encouraging for the GOC Nice, as it offers new confidence before their entry into the Europa League against AS Rome. The absence of several players, notably in defence, was compensated by the return of Dante, the Brazilian captain, who brought stability and experience to the team. Boga’s performance confirms his crucial role in the team.

This triumph allowed the GOC Nice to move from 12th to 9th place, a significant step forward that gave oxygen after an uncertain start to the season. The team will have to maintain this intensity in the upcoming games, especially against Brest outside and Paris FC at home, in order to pursue its goal of integrating the first third of the ranking and qualifying for a long-term European competition. The victory was celebrated with enthusiasm by the supporters, demonstrating a stronger link between the team and the public. The momentum is being revived, but efforts must continue to achieve the objectives set.
