Some matches are decided “on details”, if we are to believe a cliché often used indiscriminately at press conferences. The meeting between Nice and Marseille, played on Saturday evening, was the perfect illustration of this. If it did not excite the crowds with chances galore and a thrilling scenario, this Mediterranean derby at least had the merit of being fiercely contested. For a long time, the piece remained balanced on its edge. It could very well have fallen on the Marseille side. It finally tilted in favor of the Azuréens, narrow winners (1-0). As a result of an accumulation of favorable circumstances.
