The second day of Ligue 1 has started and this Saturday evening offered a rather interesting duel between Racing Club de Strasbourg and OGC Nice. Beaten by Lorient (3-1) on the first day, the Alsatians intended to make up for it at home. For its part, OGC Nice, which had beaten Racing Club de Lens (2-1), wanted to be reassured in the content. In its enclosure of Meinau, Strasbourg was organized in a 3-4-3 with Kawashima as last bulwark. Simakan, Djiku and Koné found themselves in defense while Lala and Carole animated the corridors. Finally, Sissoko, Bellegarde, Thomasson and Chahiri were to animate the game behind Ajorque. For its part, Nice bet on its 4-3-3 with Benitez in the cages. The Argentinian could count on Lotomba, Pelmard, Dante and Kamara in defense. In the middle, Schneiderlin trained in Strasbourg was accompanied by Thuram-Ulien, and Lees Melou. Finally, Sylvestre, Dolberg and Gouiri – author of a double against Lens – animated the attack.

If Nice set foot on the ball, Strasbourg responded with initiatives. Chahiri tried his hand at a strike that went over Nice goals (6th). The Nice response was not long in coming, even if it lacked conviction. Taking advantage of a cross from the right, Kamara hit at the far post, but did not catch the frame (10th). Strasbourg then tried to put pressure on Benitez’s goal, but Lala saw his free kick to Sissoko in the box being pushed back by Pelmard (14th). Nice controlled the game without being dangerous and Strasbourg exploited its possibilities well. And got a great opportunity on a free kick. Located in the axis 25 meters from the Nice goal, Kenny Lala hit just above the crossbar (25th). The Aiglons failed to open the scoring right after. Thrown on the left by Thuram-Ulien, Kamara presented himself alone in front of Kawashima. If he lobbed the Japanese, the former Rémois could not find the frame so far (27th).
Kasper Dolberg voit double
Finally, everything changed a few minutes later. Sylvestre was mown in the box by Koné (36th) and the penalty was designated by the referee, Mr. Brisard. Dolberg did not tremble against Kawashima and surprised the Strasbourg goalkeeper with a heavy strike on the left (1-0, 37 ‘). Despite a desire to respond on the side of Strasbourg, the two teams returned to the locker room on this advantage of a goal in favor of the Aiglons. After the break, Strasbourg returned with Waris who replaced Koné at fault on the Nice penalty. However, this more offensive reorganization did not translate into a change in the face of Strasbourg. Solid, the Alsatians were timid offensively against the Nice who held the ball. Launched on the left, Kamara appeared in front of the area for Nice, but his shot at ground level was totally crushed on the right (53rd). Strasbourg then passed very close to the equalizer via Ajorque (57th) who saw his head pass to the left of the frame.
Finally, Nice took shelter just before the hour mark (59th). Author of a good comeback on the left, Gouiri centered low to the ground. Sissoko inadvertently deflected the ball towards the penalty spot where Dolberg supplanted Kawashima with a stung ball (2-0, 59th). In the shelter, Nice then launched Rony Lopes who made his comeback in Ligue 1 (62nd). In an attempt to reverse the situation, Strasbourg launched Saadi, Zohi and Caci (64th). The end of the match was marked by the debut in Ligue 1 of Trouillet who replaced Thuram-Ulien (78th). Unable to deploy its offensive game, Strasbourg did not return and Nice therefore won 2-0. In the standings, Nice takes the lead in Ligue 1 with two wins in two matches. Thierry Laurey’s men, on the other hand, are 19th with two defeats in two games.
