Beaten on the Rennes pitch this Saturday, Nice is no longer advancing and gives Paris the opportunity to escape at the top of Ligue 1.

Undefeated until the 14th day of Ligue 1, theOGC Nice has not advanced since its defeat in Nantes on December 2. This Saturday, the Aiglons attacked their year 2024 in the championship on the lawn of the Rennais Stadiumwho needed points to try to climb back to the European places.

Nice no solution

Authors of a very good first period and much more enterprising than their visitors, the Bretons opened the scoring with a penalty from Benjamin Bourigeaud at the half-hour mark. At the start of the second period, it was Arnaud Kalimuendo who confirmed his good form at the moment to make the break.

Thanks to this success (2-0), Rennes returns to six points behind Marseille (6th) while Nice continues its “one win-one defeat” rhythm by being beaten for the third time in the last six league matches. Paris will have the opportunity to take the lead in the event of a victory in Lens on Sunday.
