Nice's 2-1 victory over Montpellier and 1-0 draw against Lyon have secured their position in the top half of Ligue 1.
In their first match of the weekend, Nice defeated Montpellier 2-1. The game was played at Stade de la Mosson in Toulouse and saw Nice take the lead early on through a goal from Yoann Gourcuff. However, Montpellier fought back with two goals to level the scoreline. It looked like it would be a close game until the final minutes when Nice were able to find the winning goal through a penalty kick from Anthony Lopes.
The second match of the weekend for Nice was against Lyon, who they had already beaten earlier in the season. This time, Lyon took control of the game and dominated possession throughout the match. Despite this, Nice managed to hold onto the lead and earn a well-deserved point with a 1-0 win.
Both matches were important for Nice as they continue to fight for a spot in the Champions League places in the league table. With these wins, Nice has secured their position in the top half of the league and is now just four points behind fourth-placed Rennes. The team will need to keep up their strong form if they want to make a push for the playoffs and potentially secure a place in Europe next season.
