Neither Nice nor Lorient emerges victorious.

Nice 1-1 Lorient

Goals: Laborde (77^e) for the Aiglons // Bamo Meité (30^e) for hake

Expulsion : Silva (90^e+3) for Lorient

Status quo between two teams tied in the standings, logical.

Out of offensive inspiration and perhaps blunted by their European duels for two weeks, OGC Nice nevertheless took a point at the Allianz Arena, this Sunday against Lorient (1-1). The meeting also takes time, a lot of time to unleash. After thirty minutes without the slightest shot on target, the Merlus surprised the Niçois, yet in control until then, following a low cross from Romain Faivre for the young Abdoul Bamo Meité, who finished with a flat foot (0-1, 30^e).

Seeing his players in great difficulty, Didier Digard decides to make a double change at the break to maintain his invincibility since his arrival on the OGCN bench. The frustration of the Aiglons increases a little more in the second half, in particular following a ball touched by hand by Vincent Le Goff in his own area (54^e), then after a foul by Enzo Le Fée on Khéphren Thuram (65^e), two actions where Mr. Buquet decides not to sanction the Lorient people – even if he initially awarded a penalty on the second action before changing his mind after viewing the images. The deliverance finally comes from Gaëtan Laborde who slams his eighth goal in L1 this season, well helped by the opposing left post (1-1, 77^e).

Nice snatch a point, and Digard is still undefeated. Enough to end a great week on the Promenade des Anglais.
