OGC Nice won 2-1 against Rennes at the start of the 34th day of Ligue 1, enough to further distance the Bretons from the race for Europe. Nice takes 8th position in the standings and is 5 points behind its opponent of the day, even if the people of Nice don’t really have anything to play for at the end of the season.
Everything was decided in the second period and despite the reaction of Benjamin Bourigeaud, scorer in the 78th minute on a magnificent overpowered strike, the result was already recorded. The Aiglons were able to count on their two attackers to win, first Laborde (50th) then Moffi (72nd) after a terrible mistake by Theate which cost his team dearly. On the two goals, the young Badredine Bouanani (18) launched his two partners well to allow the Gym to win.
Mathematically nothing is decided yet, but Rennes misses three crucial points by giving the opportunity to Lille, who are playing this Saturday in Reims, to take a six-step lead and consolidate a 5th place synonymous with the Europa League Conference.
