The people of Nice well muzzled
For the moment, Francesco Farioli’s men have not worried Benjamin Lecomte. Worse, they still haven’t really approached the opposing zone of truth.
Ferri’s great attempt
After a failed restart from Bulka, the Héraultais recovered very high. Jordan Ferri inherits the ball and his beautiful shot goes just over Bulka’s bar.
Success for Dante
Sacko still manages to cross towards Jordan Ferri who deflects with the tip of his foot. Dante then tries to intervene but the ball he touches towards his own cages. Marcin Bulka is vigilant and grabs the leather.
Bulka is on the trajectory
The Nice goalkeeper comes out well and wins in his area on Sacko’s cross which made the difference on the right side.
Bouanani is very active
The surprise guest from OGC Nice this evening made an interesting start to the match. Badredine Bouanani provokes the opposing defense a lot.
Fayad delights
Superb control from the Montpellier midfielder on a crossbar. Fayad carries out control behind his supporting foot like what Neymar could do.
Rosario already takes a yellow
Five minutes into the game and Rosario is already booked after a late intervention on Fayad.
Al-Tamari on the ground
The Montpellier winger struggles to get up after a duel with Melvin Bard. The referee did not signal a foul.
Already a strike
After a very good ball release from Thuram, the latter finds himself on the edge of the area to try his luck but his shot goes well over the top.

How Laborde evolved with Farioli
OGCN’s top scorer last season with 16 goals, Gaëtan Laborde is struggling to finish at the start of the year. The former Montpellier returns to Mosson this Friday, the opportunity to put on his needy winger costume that he has been showing since the arrival of Francesco Farioli in Nice.
