With this defeat, the third in five matches, the Aiglons (40 pts) fell to 5th place in Ligue 1. Francesco Farioli’s players have still not won a match on a trip since the start of the season. year 2024, despite the opening score of Terem Moffi (8th). The Niçois confirmed a bad statistic: they are the only team in the five major European championships not to have gleaned a single point after being behind this season.
A seventh rout for Nantes at Beaujoire
With their victory, Toulouse (10th, 29 pts) achieved a third success in Ligue 1 after victories against Lille and Monaco. A first since 2018.

Jocelyn Gourvennec’s men (13th, 25 pts) lost (2-0) against relegated Metz (17th, 20 pts), who came within three points of Montpellier (15th), saved by Arnaud Nordin during the draw ( 2-2) against Strasbourg (12th, 26 pts). With Marseille, Strasbourg, Nice and Lyon for its next four matches, Nantes and its coach have reason to tremble for their place in the elite and on the bench.
