Outstanding performance
Nice•MidfielderStrasbourg looked the sharper side for long stretches, out-passing Nice and creating four big chances to none, yet they leave with nothing to show for it. Dário Essugo's thunderous strike from outside the box gave the visitors a deserved lead just before the break, but Nice were level within four minutes thanks to Pape Demba Diop turning Jonathan Clauss's goalbound effort into his own net. The game swung late when Clauss, who had already gone close in the 78th minute, found the top corner from the right side of the box after good work from substitute Sofiane Diop. For Nice, the win offers a timely confidence boost given their mid-table position, while Strasbourg will be frustrated to have squandered a strong attacking performance - creating more danger and more shots overall but failing to convert their territorial edge into points.
