Kluivert, him again

He's OGC Nice's strongman at the moment, with 4 goals and 2 assists in his last 8 matches.

Justin Kluivert shone again this Sunday at the Allianz Riviera, first by scoring the only goal of the game.

Well launched in depth by Melvin Bard, he took his vis-à-vis speed before deceiving Petkovic with a shot between his legs (19th, 1-0).

His only opportunity to score, because the others, it was he who created them.

He delivered two perfect crosses from a free kick for Thuram (11th) and Delort (66th), for two goals denied by the VAR, and another saved by Thuram but where Dolberg procrastinated (62nd).

Stirring and not stingy with defensive efforts, the Dutchman confirms the start of leadership in a 3rd Ligue 1 team.

Delort did not deserve

It would be regrettable for Andy Delort to be in doubt, he who has now scored only one goal in his last 11 Ligue 1 matches. center forward Kasper Dolberg.

He also launched the Dane nicely after a big bridge over Thomas (35th), and showed his science of the game combined with Lotomba (51st) or on his oriented control before missing the target, in the area (69th).

Success is the only ingredient that fled him this Sunday.

He was too short with his head on a cross from Kluivert (7th) and stumbled on Petkovic from a free kick (38th) and with a header (52nd).

In addition to seeing a goal disallowed for a tiny offside (66th).

Frustrating.

The SCO not on time

It will take more energy, consistency and binder to stop this spiral of 4 consecutive defeats.

Angers seemed ready to follow a frenzied rhythm at the start of the match, like Boufal's paid pressing on Todibo before Mohamed-Ali Cho lacked composure in the area (16th).

Then the meeting calmed down, and Angers fell asleep when Nice managed to strike in spurts.

The good overflow from Boufal, detonator of the Scoist attack, allowed Souleyman Doumbia to hit the post (45th + 3).

A thrill on which the men of Baticle failed to capitalize.

Their timid awakening 10 minutes from the end was far from enough to snatch a point under the sky of the Côte d'Azur.

Dolberg, copy to review

This is not the first, and certainly not the last painful match for Kasper Dolberg.

The Danish striker lost 8 of his 20 balls hit in just over an hour of play, before logically giving way to Amine Gouiri.

He was unable to take advantage of Delort's hard work to launch him in depth, stumbling against a feverish Petkovic (35th).

Above all, he lacked promptness on a header from Thuram, a few meters from the Angevin cages (62nd).

His contribution to the Aiglons' quick attacks proved limited, and he was not a target from set pieces either.

A game to forget.
