Bulka (Prime Video): “I knew Balogun had missed one last year with Reims”
“I didn’t know where he was going to shoot, it’s just the feeling. I knew he missed one last year with Reims against us. I remembered where he shot, he didn’t change sides on the first penalty. On the second, I’m not going to reveal everything (laughs). When you’re a striker and you have to face the goalkeeper for the second time, it’s a mental game. And I won it.”
It’s finish ! Nice takes the throne of Ligue 1
Benoît Millot whistles the end of this derby! OGC Nice achieved a huge blow thanks to a late goal from Jérémie Boga and took first place in Ligue 1. ASM missed two penalties through Folarin Balogun.
A double change for ASM
The Monegasque technician adds size in this part with the entries of Maripan and Boadu in place of Magssa and Minamino.
Boga delivers Nice!
What a number from Jérémie Boga who will certainly give victory to Nice in the final moments of this derby after a solitary rush.
4 more minutes
We are entering added time of this derby. It’s four minutes. Still no goal for Louis II.
Baldé takes his chance!
Aliou Baldé gets back on his left foot and strikes but Kohn does not let himself be surprised by the rebound and deflects for a corner.
Ben Yedder scores but it’s refused!
The French international thinks to give AS Monaco the advantage but the assistant referee’s flag rises to signal an offside position.
Bulka is still on the trajectory
The Nice goalkeeper continues to cling to his clean sheet and repels Minamino’s shot which had been ideally served by Ben Yedder.
More changes
This time, it’s Adi Hütter who makes a double change with the entries of Matazo and Jakobs in place of Camara and Henrique.
Double change for Nice

The bar saves Kohn
What a thrill for the Monegasques. Ndayishimiye takes a corner from Boga but finds the bar of Kohn who was beaten.
Two missed penalties in the same match, a first in 16 years
According to Opta, the last Ligue 1 player to miss two penalties in the same match was Toifilou Maoulida with Auxerre against Bordeaux at the start of the 2007-2008 season.
New cardboard
After Ndayishimiye, it is Golovin who is warned for having contested an arbitration decision.
Ben Yedder is offside
He is already in the right mood and calls for the ball from deep but is a little too impatient.
Ben Yedder comes into play
The French striker comes into play and replaces the unfortunate Folarin Balogun who missed two penalties this evening.
A double change for Nice
Francesco Farioli is the first to coach in this part with the entries of Boga and Rosario in place of Diop and Sanson.
Kohn without problem
Melvin Bard overflows on the left side and crosses to the near post but it is directly on the ASM goalkeeper.
Ndayishimiye took a yellow
In the situation which followed the penalty, Benoît Millot sent a yellow card to the Nice midfielder who contested.
Minamino cannot resume
Balogun enters the area and crosses to the far post but Minamino is too short.
Balogun is still missing!!
Amazing ! Folarin Balogun rushes and hits hard in the middle but Bulka pushes back for the second time of the evening!
Minamino broke! Penalty for ASM
Caio Henrique fights despite the pain and crosses. The Japanese passes in front of Sanson who accidentally mows down his opponent.
Caio Henrique is back
For the moment, things seem to be holding up for the Monegasque full-back who is regaining his place not without difficulty.
Caio Henrique touches his knee
Concern for the Monegasque full-back who holds his knee after a restart. There was no contact with an opponent.
Bulka always precise
Despite the heavy Monegasque pressure, the Nice goalkeeper showed great composure and great precision in his restarts.
It’s back to Louis II!

After having had a period of improvement, the Aiglons were cornered on their cages as half-time approached.
Kohn wins his duel
Terem Moffi enters the AS Monaco box and attempts a cross shot but the Monegasque goalkeeper makes a decisive save.
Thuram’s strike is slowed down
The French midfielder takes his chance from outside the area but the Monegasque defense slows down the ball which ends up in Kohn’s gloves.
Diop again
The former Monegasque is definitely hungry this evening! He takes Sanson’s pass with first intention but his shot is too quick.
Diop stumbles upon Kohn
Morgan Sanson enters the opposing area and manages to straighten the course of the ball towards Sofiane Diop who hits it with a header. Kohn is on the spot and intervenes in two stages.
Vanderson’s cross is too long
The Monegasque piston tries to find Balogun in the center but it is too imprecise.
Fofana takes her chance
Great initiative from the Monegasque midfielder who crosses his long shot a little too far. The players from the Principality have the best opportunities.
Sanson uncrosses his head
On a cross to the near post, the former Marseillais headed the ball but Kohn grabbed it without forcing the ball.
Singo took a hit
The Monaco defender struggles to get up after receiving an involuntary blow from Sofiane Diop.

Golovin gets a penalty!
The Russian is launched in the depth, eliminates Bulka but Lotomba trips Golovin! Benoît Millot points to the penalty point.
Balogun is wrong
The former Reims player had passed into the penalty area and was in a striking position but he preferred to look for Minamino in the center. It’s a miss and Bulka recovers.
Bulka takes risks
The Nice goalkeeper takes a long time to clear and is exposed to the pressing of Folarin Balogun.
Diop misses his shot
Camara is caught by Sanson about thirty meters from his cages. Moffi inherits the ball and shifts Diop who is in a good position but the former Monegasque crushes his shot too much.
Youssouf is coming back well
Vanderson gets rid of Bard on his control and crosses towards Balogun but the Nice midfielder makes a very good return to repel the danger.
