After six undefeated matches, OGC Nice collapsed this Sunday on the pitch of the bottom-placed team. Dijon won 2-0 against the Eagles and secured their first home victory.
Ranked 9th in Ligue 1, Nice was on a streak of 6 matches without a defeat, including 4 wins. The Niçois aimed to continue this strong series to finish in the top third of the league and, possibly, aim for Europe.
In contrast, Dijon was experiencing a completely opposite trajectory. As the bottom-placed team, the Dijonnais hadn’t won since the 17th matchday and were on a run of 12 consecutive defeats.
OGC Nice completely missed the mark in this match and handed DFCO their very first home victory of the season. The Eagles lost 2-0 with goals from Chafik (50′) and Benzia (77′ pen).
A match to forget for the Niçois, who were beaten twice this season by the Burgundy team, who had already won at the Allianz Riviera in the first leg during the 12th matchday. OGC Nice conceded their 14th defeat of the season and dropped a place in the standings.
At the end of this 33rd matchday, Adrian Ursea’s men are in 10th place. The end of the season is going to be long for the Eagles…
Next match for the Gym: next Sunday at the Allianz Riviera against Montpellier. Kick-off at 1 p.m.
