The OGC Nice has returned to winning ways by winning (1-0) against Montpellier to conclude its phase going through his young defender Olivier Boscagli Friday at the Allianz Riviera at the 19th day of Ligue 1.
Unable to win since Nov. 20, the surprise of the fall may not have delivered the best of his game but has shown itself effective, courage in both surfaces, and took advantage of an error of Ryad Boudebouz to score. This Nice guaranteed to pass the truce fifth. Stopped in his great comeback in the standings, Montpellier remains provisionally 13th before following this final day of the first leg.
Purpose young Boscali. The 3-5-2 finally launched by Claude Puel tandem with Hatem Ben Arfa – Valere Germain struggled to fill the width of the field and carry the danger, despite the ball. But on one of his first large sequences, Nice forcing the door at the price of two good strokes. That of Vincent Koziello recovery of a pass too perilous Boudebouz. And that of the young side Boscagli Olivier, 18 years, until quite shy in his left lane, which then arose at the back post to resume rebound off Pioneer and scored his first goal in L1 (1-0, 31).
Nice resisted. Montpellier yet realized a beginning very correct match, aptly illustrating return to form and external effectiveness. Héraultais also continued to put pressure on against attacks sometimes missing of lucidity, as on a negotiated two against three evil Rolland Courbis was out of his technical area, or on set pieces of Boudebouz (24th, 38th) that did not escape Yoan Cardinale, reassuring the ground and in the air.
After the break, Nice suffered, but his opponents did not ensure their final pass or the final gesture to the image of this huge opportunity in the 68th minute, before an open cage, which Roussillon and Casimir Ninga failed on good returns and Paul Baysse Cardinale. The chance of Montpellier was over.
