​

Before turning the page and focusing definitively on the next test (Nice – Auxerre, Coupe de la Ligue, Wednesday at 6.45pm), here’s a look at three stats from the win at Bordeaux (1-0).

Benitez was on fire 

At the Matmut-Atlantique, Walter Benitez made 8 stops, the second best performance of a goalkeeper that didn’t concede a goal in Ligue 1 this season after... his own record against Lyon on 31 August (9 stops).

Cyprien, 7 months later

Wylan Cyprien scored his first goal for Nice in Ligue 1 since 2 March against Lille.

He scored from his only shot of the match, in a move which he had started and then smartly finished past Costil. The midfielder’s 11th goal in Nice colours.  

The impact of Saint-Maximin 

After receiving the ball and then running with it, he lifted his head to play in his teammate, before a perfect conclusion.

The only goal in the encounter, a synonym for victory. Impactful, Allan Saint-Maximin has been directly involved in four of the Aiglons’ eight league goals this season (2 goals, 2 assists).
