The Riviera clubs are definitely having a complicated weekend. After Monaco’s defeat on Saturday night in Lyon, OGC Nice also lost this Sunday. Christophe Galtier’s men were surprised from the 4th minute with a goal from Mama Baldé, well served by Biancone, ex-player of the Rocher club. ESTAC Troyes, back in Ligue 1 after being Ligue 2 champion, held up the shock despite the domination of the Aiglons (11 shots, three on target). Despite a 62% possession, the Gym did not find the flaw in the defense of the Dawn, reinforced by Adil Rami. The former LOSC and OM, tenured in National 3 last week, came into play in the 25th minute in place of El Hajjam, injured during contact with Boudaoui (23rd).
Troyes won their first success of the season at home, and even the first for three years in Ligue 1. These three points are precious because they allow them to temporarily leave the red zone pending the last matches of the 10th day of Ligue 1. OGC Nice is doing a bad operation since it lets its competitors have the opportunity to take off. OL, ASM striker on Saturday, also joined forces with the Côte d’Azur club, which still has a late match (against OM on October 27).
