00:00Ongier without a point and without a goal. Nice with just one point from six so far.
00:11Something has to give today in this important match day three fixture for both sides.
00:20Now Nice in white attacking from left to right.
00:23And they would be favorites to win this game based on
00:31their form last season and the fact that Ongier are promoted to the top flight for this season.
00:42That's good pressure from Nice. Shooting chances on here and it's a good save for Fana.
00:49Well this was the opportunity for Budawi. Very close.
01:02Oh nice ball. Another opportunity early on. That is a cracking tackle from Abdoulaye Bamba.
01:11Lovely ball through and Bamba judging that.
01:19Dante is forward for the corner and it has been headed home.
01:30What a start for the visitors. It's Youssef who has got the goal.
01:35Now Franquet is a happy manager for Fana. Wondering about a bit more there.
01:50First goal in a couple of seasons for that man. Youssef from Burundi with a thumping header
01:58to make it Ongier nil. Nice one.
02:06Sheriff the number 11 hoping to link up there with Arcus but instead
02:14Nice have a free kick and we have the first yellow card of the game.
02:18The foul was on Buanani.
02:31And Abdoulaye with a pass and that looked a foul and it will be a yellow card as well.
02:39Well he can have no complaints about that one. He's moved from Marseille having spent two seasons there.
02:55Well that's a good looking shot. Buanani with it over the top.
03:01Well they worked it well Nice and plenty of time to try and pick his spot.
03:10Just a little too high this time.
03:14The visiting side Nice at the moment.
03:23Oh that's a good strike and well saved.
03:25Well it came out of nothing really. Guessant has been impressive. Good hold up play
03:34and a very good save as well.
03:38Almost heading for the corner.
03:42Close delivers. One assist for him so far. That is a good strike.
03:48Keep trying. Buanani caught this on the half volley. Would have been a spectacular goal.
03:55Mdombele lovely touch. Oh deflected it in.
04:16Hicham Boudaoui has beaten Fofana.
04:19He does find the net.
04:28A great build-up play again from Nice but too much space there on the edge of the area.
04:33Mdombele shifting it and Boudaoui making it 2-0 to Nice away at Angers.
04:41A good hit. Came off the heel of a defender. Bomba and into the net from Chou.
04:52France under 21 international. Ran into trouble that time. Mdombele.
05:01Great save.
05:02Buanani's final win over Nigeria. Fofana he is keeping them in this game just about.
05:13As Buanani tried his luck again.
05:18Flying save from the keeper.
05:20Angers need some help. They need a big response here. There's a yellow card.
05:27Three in total in this first half. Two for Nice. Coming through is Guesson.
05:35Great tackle from Angers.
05:50Yellow card for Fofana for protesting.
05:56Given away by Angers. Real chance for a third goal here.
06:02Mohamed Ali Chou.
06:07Before that Chou. He could have done better.
06:15Well this is better. Abdeli. It's a good ball and it's a great save as well. Still there for Angers.
06:27Well a good move from Angers. Their first attempt at goal in the game.
06:32And El Malaly unable to beat Boulka.
06:38Good surprise package. Brest two ahead of Lyon.
06:42This is more like the old Nice that we saw from last season.
06:50But the shot coming in a reminder that Angers.
07:00Allowed a couple of shots on goal in the last few minutes. So enjoying a spell of possession.
07:07And that's another free kick one. Boudaoui with good skill.
07:17Making his move from Algeria to France in 2019.
07:23And Guesson.
07:27Guesson is going to get a free kick in the end.
07:35The referee was playing. Guesson has been a real powerhouse in this game.
07:41Really taking the game to Angers. Positive.
07:49A very impressive first half from Nice. Nine attempts at goal.
07:54And they have two goals to show for their efforts. Youssef with the header on six minutes and Boudaoui.
08:07Granger trailing by two goals to nil against Nice going into the second half.
08:12They have sent on Bombardier on loan from Lorient for his debut.
08:18And he almost had a dramatic impact straight away.
08:37This is good play and a good save as well. Got down.
08:41The skipper of Angers, Abdeli, with the first shot on 10 goals scored. One conceded.
08:49Six nil winners against Montpellier last weekend.
08:55Long range attempts. More like it from Angers.
09:00Dieng, the halftime substitute, still looking for that debut goal.
09:18Now there was a missed time challenge.
09:23He's got himself booked.
09:24Another attempt from outside the area. This one off target.
09:36Sharif taking the fight. Denise, great skill from Dante, but this time he's outnumbered.
09:47Oh, that could be a penalty. It is a penalty.
09:55Just a yellow card. 65 minutes.
10:01Keppel making an instant impact. His pass through.
10:05Bambito did his very best to get across quickly,
10:10but in the end he crashed into another Angers substitute. That was Dieng on debut winning a penalty.
10:24Abdeli scores.
10:38Angers one, Nice two.
10:43Listen to the roar.
10:44He was in Ligue 2 last season.
10:52His first of the campaign. Angers first of the new Ligue 1 season has given them huge.
11:06That's nice play from Borga. The former Atalanta man is
11:11bearing down on goal. What a run this is. It slipped under the keeper and it's touch home.
11:18Evan Guesson makes it 3-1 Nice.
11:28A long way for Borga to go, but the Avoirian on his first appearance of the season looking
11:34really sharp. He could have got a goal. Fofana got a piece of it on the way through.
11:40To slow the ball down, but Evan Guesson was following up and he gets a crucial goal.
11:54His first of the season.
12:00This is a good run. He's gone down.
12:04Well, he wasn't really looking for a penalty or check. I'm sure, but the referee was right
12:10up at the play here and the reaction of El Malaly would suggest that he just
12:16ran out of steam there on what was a super little run into the
12:22That's good play on the wing and Fairhats just couldn't guide it home that time.
12:39The Sheriff got into the area and got back was a good one.
12:46And the defending from Dante took the sting out.
12:51He's penalized for a foul here and he might get a yellow card for that show of descent as well.
13:06Looks like El Malaly has got one.
13:12Oh, nice ball through. It's Kepel on the end of it.
13:15The save was needed. Not done just yet. Great pass from Abdeli.
13:24Good take as well from Kepel, but he couldn't beat Bulka.
13:33Now Guesson, good turn. Oh, the shot is brilliant. What a performance from this man.
13:41His second of the day. Angers one, Nice four.
13:54That is outstanding from Evan Guesson.
14:00French Youth International represents the Côte d'Ivoire at senior level.
14:06And he is producing a wonderful performance today. What a finish that was.
14:16He had a lot to do when he got the ball. Held off a couple of defenders and then placed it
14:24expertly into the goal in the second period for the visiting team. Two goals since halftime.
14:31And what's more, two goals with 10 men. There was almost one back.
14:43A good link of play and Fairhut coming ever so close.
14:54Dieng, the major positive from today. Shot comfortably handled.
15:07Zinedine Fairhut hoping to get some more. Arakpo wriggling free.
15:14That will be full time. A third defeat from three for Angers.
15:19And a lot of it is down to Evan Guesson who got two second half goals. Franck Eze
15:25getting his first win as manager of Nice. Early goals from Youssef.
