00:00for Franck Eze
00:13Nice take on Le Havre with no fewer than eight senior players missing for Franck Eze
00:19The in swing, oh Bulkh has missed it, it's been cleared off the line and Nice miraculously survive
00:31as they shot
00:37The in swing, oh Bulkh has missed it, it's been cleared off the line and Nice
00:42miraculously survive as they shot
00:45Well it's not good goalkeeping from the Polish international
00:52Tom Lusche on the line making an absolutely vital stop
01:08Now Lusche denying Salmier a goal
01:11The free kick then whipped into the box headed away, oh what a good strike that was
01:24Martial Desmas was beaten as the ball crashes out off the bar
01:31Tom Lusche, the young right back with an absolute pile driver that had the Le Havre goalkeeper
01:39absolutely struggling to get across, it's going to be Rasul Ndi to take this corner
01:49That's a better delivery and another near miss from Le Havre who are from set pieces
01:59It's Abdoulaye Touré who got his head to the ball
02:01Touched on by Ndiaye, given away by Ngoura, now a little bit of space here, Buanani with the shot
02:16Just for a moment it opened up quite nicely for Buanani
02:31And the referee brings
02:39Quick whistle which is one minute of aggregate time, it is nil-nil
02:42after 45 minutes of play, opportunities on both sides but it is Nice
02:46who's maybe getting the momentum at the end of the half, we're going to take a short break
02:49going to come back with the highlights from this the first half of football
02:54Nice may have struck the crossbar in the first half but Frankezi's side have
03:01otherwise created precious little, they need to do better in this second half against Le Havre
03:09The visitors who've had more of the ball and more chances as well
03:14Buanani finds N'Ndu, Buanani again, well that struck arms, Francois Letizia waving away the penalty appeals
03:26It's been clear Letizia, let's have a look at this again, he's saying the arm is down
03:31by the side, it's a little bit out isn't it?
03:35It's a little bit out, is it part of a natural movement this from Yoan Salmier?
03:40Needed perhaps to find the breakthrough
03:45Buanani's cross, in no time Francois Letizia changes his decision and points to the spot
03:53Nice with the penalty
03:54Gaten Laborde for Nice, he beats the goalkeeper and Nice have that all-important first goal
04:15thanks to a very well taken penalty by Gaten Laborde
04:19the Nice attacker with just his second goal, very much good work, find themselves behind
04:33very well placed by Laborde
04:49that means a lot to him, it means a lot to Nice as well, that's well defended by Luché
04:55the homegrown youngster on the charge now
05:01Boudaoui with the shot, Desmas gets down well, in a tight corner finds Tangeline
05:11it's all right, good ball from him, now Kesta, Kesta turning, Kesta getting the shot away, it's wide
05:17culminating in that shot from Yassine Kesta
05:27Abdoulaye Touré
05:31Evan Guesson for Nice, strong running from Guesson, can he finish it off? No, because Desmas
05:40really good run though, from Nice's 23 year old attacker Evan Guesson
05:54managed to get a... oh Ayoub couldn't quite get onto that ball and Boudaoui cleared
06:02Laborde, no foul says the referee, real options here, he's got two in the middle, this is Bouanani
06:10Bouanani's shot, Bouanani's goal, it's taken him a long time to score his first
06:19Nice goal in Ligue 1, but that was a super shot from Badreddine Bouanani
06:27and it's his 38th Ligue appearance for Nice, Badreddine Bouanani, a player of his technical quality
06:49his ability in front of goal should be scoring more regularly perhaps
06:53this will be the turning point for him, it's a really good finish, Nice 2, Le Havre 0
07:05not only because of the injuries, despite that they're going to be up to
07:09to fifth if they can see this one through
07:14Le Havre maybe with a chance, it's deflected behind, it's going to be
07:18Zouhaoui to deliver left-footed, it's a good cross, it's headed down and it's in the back of the net
07:29Le Havre have got a lifeline, still five minutes to play in added time and Gautier-Loris
07:37maybe it'll be even more than a consolation, it's a good header from Loris
07:42a late deflection taking it beyond Bourca
07:49does Etienne Ute get the touch, will it be his goal?
07:57well Bourca was somewhat unsighted as well, the credit goes to Gautier-Loris for winning that header
08:07the full-time whistle blows, Nice up
08:10well that was a tight finish for Nice, a very close whistle and of course disappointed faces at Le Havre
