00:00Will cope to claim his first one win since taking over this team for a second time with Nice's last victory at home.
00:30To Philip Kud in the Monaco goal. Forward into Gullivan. Monaco building nicely. Akliouche to the top of the box. Lamine Kamara across the face and it's off the crossbar from Follerim Balogun.
00:44And there was no offside flag against the Monaco striker. And Nice with a very lucky escape.
00:52That is Zakaria. Bernardo in towards the near post and there is appeal for handball here and it's given. Bernardo was utterly convinced and Benoit Bastion said yes I agree. What a start to the Cote d'Azur derby.
01:17Here's the arm tucked in towards the body.
01:22And the penalty has been wiped out.
01:27Cue howls of frustrations from the Nice fans. And one big sigh of relief.
01:37Oh it's a lovely turn from Sofiane Diop. And outside of the boot just a little too strong for Wahi.
01:44And Kud able to come out and sweep.
01:46Tied it up by Zakaria.
01:51Well not too efficiently though by Monaco and Klaus will earn a quarter off to Locada.
02:00And there was a bit of confusion there in the Monaco back line.
02:03For Monaco.
02:10Let's see how they deal with the resultant corner.
02:14Dante.
02:16Well he got
02:17a rather mixed return in terms of results.
02:20So far for Pocagnoli.
02:24Here's Krepintiata with the low cross towards the near post.
02:29Swept away by
02:30Charles Van Hoot.
02:36Boot of Klaus.
02:37Klaus.
02:42It's the latter.
02:45Nice tail to it.
02:46I'll tell you what that wasn't too far away.
02:50Now the Abdi.
02:53Arriving at the near post.
02:55And Kuhn didn't look too worried.
02:57Although there is an option to buy.
03:00If Monaco are keen.
03:01Here's Lamine Kamara.
03:02He's done well to retain possession.
03:08Balogun wanted the ball played early.
03:11It's going to be a foul here.
03:12And a yellow card for Sofiane Diop.
03:14For dragging his man back.
03:19Nice might just see.
03:21That has perhaps taken one for the team.
03:23Because
03:24that was a very promising situation.
03:28Now.
03:29Eli Wahi.
03:29Into the penalty area where he was somewhat crowded out at the end.
03:35But
03:35just opened up for him.
03:38For Monaco.
03:39Little look over the shoulder to see how much support he's got.
03:43Still Gullivan.
03:46Partly away by Abdi.
03:51I don't think Santon was expecting that from Dante.
03:54And Monaco could profit.
03:56Akliouche in towards Lamine Kamara.
03:59Big chance.
04:00Balogun.
04:01Good save.
04:02Dupac.
04:05The outstretched boot of the goalkeeper.
04:09Denying for him Balogun.
04:11And then Zachariah Awahi.
04:17And the space has opened up here for Sofiane Diop.
04:20Big chance for Nice.
04:23And he's blown it.
04:24Well, all of a sudden, the space opened up him.
04:35Keira.
04:37That's a bit of a loose pass, but it's worked out all right.
04:39Jordan Teise is going to drive in a shot from well outside the box.
04:43And they can build again through Diata on the right.
04:52Teise.
05:01Wants a bit more effort from his teammates.
05:03Work short for Sanson.
05:05Off the head of Keira.
05:07Given the fact that he's missed a lot of the season with injury as well.
05:10He and his team have done well to keep the home team goalless in the first half,
05:16although it wasn't.
05:18To start here on B-Sports.
05:25Since late November, let's see if all that changes.
05:31Krep in Diata.
05:33Akliouche is onside.
05:36Seen only partly away by Dante.
05:38And volley back towards goal by Golovans.
05:39It's a good save by Dupay.
05:43Monaco first to show in the second half.
05:51Now they've turned possession over.
05:52And the race is on between Zakaria and Wahi.
05:55They've had their own personal duel so far this afternoon.
06:01Diop.
06:02Wahi.
06:03Swinging the ball across.
06:06Seen out by Teise.
06:08Here's Morgan Sanson to drive one.
06:12Just to finish the earlier point.
06:14Of course,
06:14Balogun hit the crossbar after just two minutes of the game in the first half.
06:18Got a room here for Bernadot.
06:23Seen out.
06:24Miss Q.
06:33Could open the door here for Monaco.
06:36And Wahi perhaps in unfamiliar territory.
06:42Helped out by Luchet.
06:44Still the corner from Lamine Kamara to come.
06:47And volleyed over the top by Zakaria.
06:56But it did take a touch on the way through.
06:59Enjoying this start to the second half.
07:03Kamara's corner.
07:04Out by Dante.
07:05Well, Simon Odingra had time to set himself.
07:12And try and pick out that top corner.
07:16And the Elias Riviera just falls to near silence for a moment or two.
07:20And that will be music to Monaco's ears.
07:23It's going to be an offside flag against Simon Odingra.
07:27No movement from Claude Poole as yet.
07:38Here's Diop.
07:42And that's a goal kick.
07:51Vanhout, Diop.
07:55Again, Zakaria.
07:56Timing is challenged to perfection.
07:58But given away by Akliush.
08:04Well, just catching practice in the end for Philippe Kuhn.
08:08Off the boot of Gavin Bernadette.
08:10The free kick still to come.
08:12Monaco could yet exact punishment.
08:16In by Kau Enrique.
08:18And headed wide by Denis Zakaria.
08:19Decent side of goal.
08:30Via the corner from Lamine Kamara.
08:34Zakaria was there.
08:36And it loops up and well wide in the end.
08:39Lamine Kamara who got back to help out his teammates.
08:46Because Monaco were a bit short-handed.
08:48Here's Eliwahi.
08:49Top of the box.
08:51And a comfortable save for Kuhn in the end.
08:53A real tussle the whole game.
08:58Zakaria.
08:59All too often has come out on top.
09:01But the goalkeeper's made a mistake.
09:02And Sofia Diop.
09:05Hammered the ball towards goal.
09:07And it needed that intervention.
09:12From Thilo Keira.
09:14To prevent Nice from taking the lead.
09:16Philippe Kuhn.
09:18With an almighty blow.
09:19As we approach the final quarter of an hour.
09:22Klaus' short corner.
09:24Low and hard.
09:26Koulibaly.
09:29Outnumbered in the end.
09:30Well he well-marshalled by Teze.
09:38But he's got the throw.
09:40In passing lane.
09:42He's back on the ball again.
09:43Sofjan Diop.
09:46Van Hoot.
09:47Awkward one for Kuhn.
09:48Good punch away.
09:50And Klaus.
09:51Good return ball by Klaus.
09:54Or to Klaus I should say.
09:58Monaco haven't cleared their lines.
10:00And Wahi.
10:00A snapshot.
10:03On by the home supporters.
10:05Here's Sofia Diop.
10:11Budas trying to place it.
10:14Well that would have been the perfect end.
10:16To a move that he started.
10:18Brought down by Van der Son.
10:19Frustration etched all over the face of the Monaco coach.
10:35Jumabar has slotted in alongside Dante and Apong.
10:41One by Jansen.
10:43Abdi joining in with the attack.
10:44It's attempted cross.
10:46And Kuhn colliding with Wahi.
10:49He was always going to get the whistle.
10:52He was always going to get the whistle.
10:52And he was going to finish off.
10:53And he was going to get the whistle.
10:55He was a little bit off.
10:57He was going to get the whistle.
10:59And he's got ...
10:59Slightly off balance.
11:01Works out all right though.
11:01For Kule Bali.
11:02Abdi backed into a quarter here and he's got the throw even though Vanderson thought it was his
11:15and there's a little bit of bad temper between the two number twos Vanderson gets a booking
11:25there he is made his debut against Strasbourg at home the midfielder of Brazilian heritage
11:31here's Wahi but the flag is raised
11:36too much of that to Koulibaly but all the way with it Jansen nips in ahead of Teze
11:44Abdi again corner for Nice
11:51Dante waiting at the back of the six-yard box in what is going to be his last derby that would be a story if he netted the winner
11:59does go towards the Brazilian he did get there away by Birith
12:06there is going to be a spot kick for that and that is that all over at the L.A.M. Siviera on is even for the second time this season between these two
12:16and that's it for this match nil nil for the derby
12:22Derby
