Kasper Dolberg, thunderous return

Kasper Dolberg has not lost the rhythm.

Back from a Euro where he distinguished himself with three goals, the Dane threw his own on the hats of wheels by opening the scoring after less than a minute.

A goal in fox which called another one hour later (63rd).

Beyond his double, the number 9 from Nice, whose future on the Côte d'Azur remains unclear, was invaluable in his back-to-goal game, from which he stood out brilliantly at the time of game (60th).

It is also he who obtains the penalty after having found the bar on a nice deflection at the near post (45th + 2).

A complete match.

Kasper Dolberg took advantage of Dante's deflection to score a brace.

Christophe Galtier, shattering return

The reunion was expected.

Less than three months after his departure from Lille, the coach who led the Mastiffs to an unexpected title of champion of France returned to play it a very bad turn.

“For maintaining the title, thank you Galette,”

greeted the Lille supporters for the return of their ex-coach.

Welcomed to applause, the one who left the club after an arm wrestling with the new president Olivier Létang, leaves his old garden with the feeling of accomplished duty.

Without mercy, his team left their season after a disappointing inaugural draw against Reims (0-0).

All in all, this Nice with Galtier sauce should be worth the detour.

Amine Gouiri twirling

Amine Gouiri had thought to imitate his friend Dolberg when he scored his double (71st).

A goal finally refused for offside in the total disbelief of the spectators of Pierre-Mauroy, who had already recorded a humiliating "manita".

But the Nice striker will be satisfied with a goal, scored from the penalty spot before the break (45th + 4).

The only reading of this first goal of the top scorer on the Riviera last season (12 goals in L1) is not enough to summarize the influence in the result of the number 11 from Nice.

Determining from the start, after a slalom of which he has the secret which will lead to the first goal of the match (1st) then passer for Hicham Boudaoui (6th), Gouiri has (again) been of all good shots, unlike his counterpart in attack Justin Kluivert, ghostly.

Flops

Jocelyn Gourvennec and the Losc completely on the street

For his first at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, Jocelyn Gourvennec received a real slap in the face which will not cure his popularity rating already relative to Losc supporters.

A choice of the management accused of lack of ambition by the faithful of the Mastiffs.

Lack of ambition, his team sorely lacked this Saturday.

His choices were also not validated since Timothy Weah and Jonathan Ikoné, replaced at the break, failed (25 balls lost between them).

If the circumstances of the match did not help (two goals behind after 5 minutes), his Losc showed no feeling of revolt despite a favorable two-thirds possession.

Even “King” Burak Yilmaz, who tried himself twice, did not exist.

Leo Jardim suffers from comparison with Mike Maignan

after the meeting. Last year, the Losc had Christophe Galtier at the helm, but also Mike Maignan in the cages. And the finding is clear. Determining in the triumph of the Mastiffs with 21

clean sheets

compiled (record equaled), the goalkeeper trained at PSG has since left for Milan. And his replacement Leo Jardim conceded seven goals in two games (after the 3-3 in Metz). A very insufficient performance in the cages for the Brazilian, yet heroic before losing on the first goal before being too short on the second and fourth goals, where he came out behind Dolberg. Number 1 for lack of better, Jardim could see his place threatened if a rookie arrives.
