The game, played at the Stade Louis II, started with both teams looking for great chances, but it turned out in Nice's favor when T. Moffi opened the scoring in the 8th minute. Adding another goal just three minutes later, Moffie brought the score to two for his team with a strong strike.

At the same time, Monaco made four substitutions to try to spur their team to counterattack. First, I. Jacobs and M. Boadou replaced W. Ben Yedder and A. Golovin, and then S. Macim and E.
