The Eaglets drew 1–1 in the Principality for the derby. Reduced to 10 men and trailing 1–0, Eric Roy’s men salvaged a precious point by scoring in the 85th minute. Ranked 16th in Ligue 1, Nice maintains a three-point lead over the first team in the relegation zone and two over Monaco.
Diakité’s expulsion and the generous penalty converted by Park were not enough for AS Monaco to defeat Nice. Often successful in the Principality, the Eaglets managed to equalize five minutes before the end of the match. Well served by Faé, Mouloungui beat Ospina in one of the few opportunities for the Red and Black.
Thanks to this result, Nice stays ahead of their opponent for the evening. Ranked 16th in the standings, Anthony Mounier’s teammates also maintain a three-point lead over the relegation zone. A necessary margin before hosting the reigning champion and current leader: Marseille.
Qualified for the Champions League and victorious over Montpellier 4–0 this weekend, OM will arrive at Ray in great shape on Sunday, December 5th at 5 PM.
