Nice may have regrets.
After the great victory of the Lensois this Friday evening against Troyes (4-0), the Aiglons had to keep pace to regain second place in the standings.
In the end, it was a failure.
Christophe Galtier's men bowed against Montpellier (0-1), during the 13th day of Ligue 1. With this defeat, Nice leaves the place of dolphin to Blood and Gold and offers a boulevard to PSG.
What you must remember
Conquerors and offensives, the Niçois fished in the finish.
With four shots on target out of 15 attempted, the Aiglons did everything to win.
Whether it is Gouiri (12th), Delort (47th), or even Da Cunha (53rd), none has managed to deceive the vigilance of Jonas Omlin (five saves).

And as if that were not enough, on a beautiful action initiated by Khéphren Thuram, author of a great match, Mario Lemina saw his strike pushed back by the amount (54th).
Obviously, after so many failed attempts, the OGCN was punished by Florent Mollet, who scored his fourth goal of the season (80th).
The player: Andy Delort
All the spotlight was on him.
Author of five goals in eight games with the Aiglons, the Algerian international (who has been sulking the selection for several weeks) arrived in full confidence to face his former club, where he spent three seasons.
If he was sparkling in the game with four successful key passes, he fished in the finish, not framing any shot (three shots attempted).
Fifteen minutes from the end of the game, the former Montpellier player tried an acrobatic chisel, countered by Estève (76th).
The number: 1
This is Montpellier's first away victory in Ligue 1 this season.
The Hérault had conceded two draws and three defeats.
And the first home failure of OGC Nice, which remained on three wins and three draws.
