OGC Nice will go into the night from Saturday to Sunday as the new number three of the Ligue 1. The team of coach Christophe Galtier was 2-1 too strong for Stade Brest at home, where Marco Bizot defended the goal. Pablo Rosario and Calvin Stengs also appeared at the starting signal for the home team; Justin Kluivert was absent due to injuries.

Jean-Clair Todibo made sure the first half didn’t end goalless. Bizot didn’t look good when a long cross hit his body as he wavered from his target. Todibo could then simply work the ball into the empty goal. After an hour of play, the score fell 2-0: after a perfect cross by Amine Gouiri, Melvin Bard headed the ball in at the far post. Franck Honorat made it 2-1 in extra time, but that goal was only one for the statistics.

Stade Brest thus continues to wait for the first victory of the season. The Bizot club collected only four points from the first nine matches and only keep Saint-Étienne under them. OGC Nice awaits a duel with low-flyer Troyes after the international match.
