Overview
- Strasbourg took an early lead through Dario Essugo’s right-footed shot before a Pape Demba Diop own goal levelled the match just before halftime.
- Jonathan Clauss delivered the decisive score from a powerful right-footed strike around the 80th minute to complete the 2-1 turnaround at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday.
- Nice dominated the second half under coach Olivier Pantaloni, converting sustained pressure into the late winner after a first half spent chasing the game.
- The victory is Nice’s second consecutive league win following the pre-international-break win over Lille and has moved the club into the upper half of the table, with outlets reporting either 7th or 9th place.
- Strasbourg remain mid-table (reported 11th) and will host Paris Saint-Germain next while Nice travel to Lyon, a sequence that gives both clubs a key test of the momentum from this result.
