Match Recap

Nathan Ngoy put Nice ahead inside the first half hour, and by the time Mohamed Amoura doubled the lead just after the hour mark, Lille's afternoon in Nice was already unraveling. Ayase Ueda pulled one back in the 79th minute, too late to spark a real comeback, and Nice held on for a 2-1 win that stings more than the league table suggests it should. Lille arrived fourth in Ligue 1 with ten points and three wins from their last five, while Nice sat fourteenth with just five points and one win from five games. On paper this was Lille's to lose. Instead, Nice stayed unbeaten in their last two meetings with this opponent and made it count when it mattered most. Ngoy's opener and Amoura's second-half strike are the two moments worth rewinding, the pair that turned a mid-table scrap into one of the weekend's more unexpected results. Rewind to Ueda's 79th-minute strike too, the goal that had Lille dreaming of an escape that never came.
