Ligue 1 McDonald's, round 23, 23/02/25
OGC Nice registered their third victory on the leap when they sent relegation-threatened Montpellier HSC on a canter (2-0) to take their place on stage again.
Nice's almost complete domination of the match was not reflected in the score at the end of the first half. There was a waste, which started with an early attempt by Evann Guess and was saved by Benjamin Lecomte and even after Jonathan Clauss opened the score on the half -hour marking, on a ball over the top of Guessand before he ended With a sleek corner in the bottom corner, through the inside of the post.
Gaëtan Laborde, so productive of recent times, wrote a golden chance of a gamble and cutbacks and saw his unfinished effort from the near the penalty spot harmless. Guessand, also so efficiently recently, was also not in the context of a species that has emitted an attempt. It was a more difficult effort than those who preceded it, but the Ivorian should have tested Lecomte.
There was no uprising from Montpellier in the second half, who did little to try to repair parity, happy to give property and authority without ever really looking for the gym during the break. After a combination of a gamble and an air kick and a bad Cho effort on the rebound, another chance saw, Nice doubled their lead just after the hour.
Again, it was estimate and in the heart of things in the structure, because it was his eruption of pace so that he could get in the back and play the ball to Cho. While his effort was blocked, the ball fell to Laborde, which had the calmness to put it back to Boudaoui for a simple side foot finish.
There were opportunities for fun to add their advantage further, with Cho Curling just past, but the home team did not have to exaggerate, and it didn't. Ndiaye Junior caused a late fear, the MHSC replacement that hit the bar up close, but the two goals were sufficient to see that they recover their place on stage and to keep them in a strong position to qualify for UEFA To guarantee Champions League of next season.

Certainly the worst game in Santamaria since he arrived at Nice in the winter. He is at best if he keeps the game simple and he did not, who too often opted for an ambitious option and lose the ball when there were easier and still dangerous options available for him. He also lost the ball too often in duels, including a dangerous turnover that Tanguy Coulibaly saw just widely in what one of Montpellier's best chances was at stake.
Hicham Boudaoui – 7
Jonathan Clauss – 7
Mohamed-Ali Cho-4
Gaëtan Laborde – 5
Evann Guessand and 6
Not on his efficient best, missing a few good chances that we have got used to seeing him throwing away, but still in the heart of both goals, to get the assist for the first and to show an eruption of pace to To find out and the ball for Cho for the second.
Théo Sainte Luce – 2
Absolutely everything came on his side and – like a unity – there was an inability to break the combinations between Clauss, Boudaoui and Guessand. Sainte Luce, completely at sea, has a good part of the responsibility to harm for that.
Yaël Mouanga – 2
Tanguy Coulibaly – 5
