Nice defeat Rennes in Ligue 1 match at the Allianz Riviera In a tense and action-packed Ligue 1 match, Nice defeated Rennes 2-0 at the legendary Allianz Riviera stadium. The 1-0 scoreline at half-time suggested a tight contest, and Nice took the lead on 45 minutes thanks to a spectacular goal from J. Bogie. However, Rennes showed resilience and determination, not allowing the scoreline to dampen their mood. Already in the 17th minute, Rennes player L. Assignon received a yellow card, setting the tone for a game that would be fiercely contested from start to finish. In the 59th minute Rennes decided to make two substitutions: M. Terrier instead of D. Douet and L. Blas instead of A. Calimuendo. These substitutions gave the team new strength and gave them hope that they could equalise. Nice quickly reacted to the substitution of Rennes players, making their own changes in the 63rd minute. J. Laborde replaced E. Guessan, which allowed them to strengthen their attacking options and consolidate the advantage on the scoreboard. In the 68th minute, A.

Santamaria. However, it was too late: Nice managed to hold on to their lead until the final whistle and take a well-deserved victory over their opponents.
