OGC Nice secures dramatic 2-1 comeback victory against Brest
OGC Nice achieved their first away win of the season with a 2-1 comeback victory against Stade Brestois 29 during the eighth round of Ligue 1. The match, held at Stade Francis-Le Blé, began poorly for Nice when goalkeeper Yéhvann Diouf committed a significant error in the 15th minute, allowing Ludovic Ajorque to score into an empty net.
Nice responded in the second half, with Elye Wahi equalizing in the 61st minute following a corner from Mohamed Amoura. Sofiane Diop secured the win for the visitors in the 83rd minute. The match concluded with high drama as Diouf saved a penalty from Brest's Kenny Lala in stoppage time to preserve the lead.
The victory moves Nice to eighth place in the standings with 11 points, while Brest drops to 11th place with 9 points. Before the match, both clubs honored the memory of former Brest coach Éric Roy, with captains Axel Witsel and Hugo Magnetti wearing commemorative armbands.
