After their convincing victory over Stade Rennais (5–2), Nice managed to follow that up with another win away at SCO Angers (0–2).

The weeks roll by and are starting to feel much the same for OGC Nice. The team's rise to form was once again evident at the Raymond-Kopa Stadium against SCO Angers.

Right from the start, the Aiglons applied high pressure, with their defensive block positioned well inside the opposition’s half. After more than a minute of possession, Nils Nkounkou played a through ball to Mohammed Amoura, who, having outpaced Camara, squared the ball to Sofiane Diop at the far post. Unmarked, Le Gym’s number 10 had only to slot the ball into the back of the net (0–1, 2'). The goal was celebrated together with the manager, Olivier Pantaloni, who sadly lost his father, Ange, this week.

After falling behind early on, Angers eventually found their feet, and an entertaining quarter of an hour ensued in which the two sides traded blows. Well set up by Arcus, Amine Sbaï failed to hit the target with his shot (13'). Shortly afterwards, the Aiglons struck back through Elye Wahi. Put in behind the defence by Amoura, the Nice striker found himself one-on-one with Lopes, who won the duel by parrying the ball away with his foot (14'). From the resulting corner, Jonathan Clauss linked up with Diop and found himself in a shooting position inside the box. His effort, far too powerful, flew wide of the target (15'). The home side responded immediately. Sbaï played Joseph Kalulu in behind Clauss; Kalulu, after crossing to the penalty spot, forced Yehvann Diouf into a save at the near post (16').

The intensity eventually cooled down, allowing the Aiglons to regain possession. Playing patiently, Le Gym looked dangerous with every move into the opposition’s box. Wahi failed to capitalise on a fine team move started by Mohamed Abdelmonem (33'). However, Nice had a scare just before half-time following an Angers counter-attack. After a cross into the box, Diouf made a rather unorthodox but incredibly effective save to deny Belkhdim, who was through on goal from the penalty spot (43').

As in the first half, the second half got off to a lively start. Sent through behind the defence, Allevinah failed to hit the target with his shot, which ended up in the side netting (47'). The Aiglons, however, proved to be effective on the counter-attack, one move saw Nkounkou link up with Diop and who found Amoura around the penalty spot, he attempted a scissor kick which ended up straight in the arms of Lopes (53'). The Algerian international continued to showcase the full range of his technical ability with another delightful through ball for Wahi, who failed to pull the ball past the SCO Angers goalkeeper (57'). Shortly after the hour mark, it was Diop’s turn to delight in the box before playing in Nkounkou at the far post, who could only hit the post (63')!

The Aiglons, solid at the back, continued to pose a threat with their attacking play. Following a superb team move, Gauthier Hein played the ball to Clauss in the box, who struck it powerfully at the near post, catching Anthony Lopes off guard (0–2, 78'). The goal sealed the result, despite a final attempt by Simbakoli in the box, which was saved by Diouf (87').

Three wins in a row sees Le Gym climb to fifth place in the table, just three points off the podium.
