Nice did not have an easy match this Sunday (26/11), in the 15th round of the French Championship. But at home (Allianz Riviera) they achieved an important result by beating Toulouse 1-0, a goal from Moffi at the start of the half. Thus they reached 29 points and did not let the leaders PSG, who have 30 points, escape. The visiting team played a good match, but remains poorly in the standings. After all, they are in 15th place, with 12 points. At the moment, the first out of the relegation zone. But you can lose up to two positions and enter Z3 once and for all after the round.

Defense guarantees Nice’s success
Toulouse played an amazing match. After all, facing one of the title candidates, away from home, they tried to attack during the 90 minutes and had good ball possession (446%). However, he failed in his finishing. To give you an idea, the team had 20 shots on target and 18 shots off target. The only two in the right direction came in extra time in the second half, when the visitors went on the attack and demanded an equalizer. Bello was more effective. Although he finished less than half as often as his rival (eight), two were on target and one was on target. At 9′ of the second half Sanson makes a good move on the left and crosses for Moffi. Free, the attacker sends the ball towards goal and guarantees the team’s eighth victory, the only one unbeaten in the competition.
After the goal, Nice starts to play closed. And then he made his defensive solidity count. After all, the Côte d’Azur team didn’t concede four goals in 13 games (the second best defense, PSG conceded 11) by chance. And one of the highlights of the system is Brazilian Dante, a 40-year-old veteran, former Bayern player and member of the 2014 World Cup squad.
