Ligue 1: Lorient wins, Nice regains colour

By easily winning against a Lorient side (3-0) lacking confidence and doubting at the slightest headwind, Niçois consolidated their fifth place in Ligue 1 on Friday. They are two points behind Lille, who host Strasbourg on Sunday, and can hope to finish in the top four. The Nice goals were scored by Morgan Sanson, who took advantage of a Lorient ball loss thirty meters from the goals of Yvon Mvogo (1-0, 22nd), by Jérémie Boga (2-0, 53rd), whose goal was confirmed despite a suspicious position from Terem Moffi, and by Evann Guessand, swinging at a post from Jean-Clair Todibo (3-0, 89.). This is Gymset’s third win in twelve games in this return phase.

Nice will try to confirm their recovery on Wednesday in Marseille, during the postponed match from the 29th. Lorient loses one place and ends up in 17th place, while the two teams at the top of the standings, Le Havre and Metz, meet each other on Sunday in Normandy.
