Wow, what a match! Nice pulled off a stunning 1-0 victory over PSG at the Allianz Riviera. Delort's goal in the 88th minute proved to be the difference-maker.
The game was a fascinating battle of styles. Nice, playing at home, controlled the midfield and were relentless in their pressing, possessing the ball for 43% of the game and having a higher shot total (11). However, PSG managed a higher possession rate at 57% and had more shots on goal. While Nice was more aggressive and successful in shots inside the box (9), PSG seemed more clinical overall in creating dangerous opportunities.
The atmosphere was electric. The most exciting moment, and ultimately the deciding moment, was when Delort found the back of the net. It capped off an exciting second half and was a nail-biter until the very end. There were several substitutions on both sides, especially in the latter half of the match which kept the momentum shifting.
PSG, despite their overall superior possession stats, couldn't quite break through Nice's determined defense. Nice, with their passionate home crowd behind them, deserved their win. The victory is a huge boost for Nice's league position and a major upset against a formidable opponent.
