00:03So here we go on the Cote d'Azur, match day 29 of Ligue 1, Nice post L'Arve.
00:10A pair of them struggling to find victories in recent times.
00:166th without a win for the visitors.
00:198th without a win inside these four walls of the Allianz Riviera for Les Eglons.
00:26Taking unwanted history, lost 24 matches in all competitions this season.
00:32More than any other team in Europe's big five leagues.
00:38It could equal their highest tally of defeats in a single season.
00:42If they were to lose here again, Les Eglons.
00:5225 in 1996-97 and they were last relegated to Ligue 2.
00:58Now 29 years on.
01:00To avoid matching that record and that fate certainly.
01:0696-97 and they were last relegated to Ligue 2.
01:16Do well to not lose between now and the end of the season.
01:23Obviously taken down on the chest.
01:25The pass wasn't bad either.
01:27N'Jai plays it forwards and then across from Sumari.
01:32Well.
01:34It's a nice idea.
01:37Great.
01:39Well forwards.
01:42Find the finishing touch.
01:45Today.
01:50Both keepers.
01:51Murray Dior and Nirvan Juuf with two caps.
01:55The Taranga Lions.
01:57Play forwards to Van Hoot.
01:59Got the shot.
02:01Shot away.
02:03Didn't trouble Juuf.
02:10Well worked.
02:12Familiar territory for defensive midfielder.
02:15Gonte over.
02:18As he's done by Boudoui.
02:20Between the legs.
02:21Nice ball forwards as well for Mohamed Ali.
02:23Show.
02:24Dior with the save.
02:31Most Senegalese keepers keeping their sides on level terms.
02:36Space of a couple of minutes.
02:43Show with Nice's first clear-cut opportunity.
02:484-hour mark.
02:53Increasing here.
02:53Inside the Allianz Riviera.
02:56Show again.
02:57Dropping deep.
02:58It's away from his man.
03:00It's pulled on.
03:02Shot might open up here.
03:04Well.
03:05It was Jonathan Claus.
03:07It's weaker.
03:09Left-hand side.
03:11Too much space not to shoot.
03:15Lovely footwork from Boudoui.
03:17Completely timed and weighted pass as well.
03:21Show couldn't find the far corner.
03:29And.
03:30Well.
03:30It nearly made all the difference.
03:32Right on to the.
03:33Couldn't though find the target with his header.
03:38Rising highest.
03:40Sea of bodies.
03:42No.
03:46No.
03:47No.
03:48No.
03:50No.
03:51No.
03:51No.
03:52No.
03:54No.
03:55No.
03:55No.
03:55No.
03:56No.
03:58No.
04:01No.
04:04No.
04:24No.
04:27It's the cause of most of the jeers, brilliant awareness from Rasul and Jai, brilliant first
04:37touch as well from Zamata, long-awaited first Ligue 1 goal since his return in the summer.
04:51And they produce an instant response here, Van Hoot into Elie Wai, for seconds after the
05:01kick-off, but that reaction tells you the assistant has raised his flag and it was the right decision,
05:11just on the wrong side, the defensive Lyle, to find the right words, the team cannot win
05:23on home soil 2026 and have to turn this one around if they want to.
05:56The team is finished.
06:09So that's the end of the first 45 minutes, pretty intense first half at the moment.
06:16And what Elie Wai is winning, we have the highlights and so much more after a break.
06:24Back underway, Nice quite simply have to score here.
06:32Good news is, they tend to do so.
06:39Fifteen seconds, putting the ball in their own box though.
06:47Immediately pinned back, not the kind of start Gokweil would have been hoping for.
06:54Nice to Zouawi.
07:01His flick on, not the idea anyway.
07:05From Russell Njaye.
07:08The assist for Zamata's goal.
07:11His force of the season, a flick there as well.
07:17Moudaoui, an important intervention in Van Hoot.
07:21Goudling on the ball.
07:22It's actually dropped deep up.
07:24Offend their lead.
07:26Remains this way.
07:27Space for Sanson to move into.
07:31Early cross was disappointing, but will be kept alive by Jonathan Klaus there.
07:36The location as it stands.
07:38Ball in.
07:40Found Abdi.
07:42Had another opportunity.
07:45One in the first half.
07:46The first of the second.
07:51Dukure didn't jump.
07:53Abdi.
07:53Six assists so far this season.
07:56I managed the 10th.
07:58His first campaign with Les Eglans.
08:01The kick flicked on.
08:03Still up in the air.
08:04And it's going to drop to Mendy.
08:05And it's fourth time by Ali Abdi.
08:09And this time, the flag looks like it will stay down.
08:15It wasn't pretty, but they all count.
08:18And that one counts for quite a lot.
08:22For Ali Abdi and Nice.
08:241-1.
08:26With half an hour to play.
08:35It's partially cleared.
08:37It's up into the air.
08:38Initially by Abdi.
08:39Mendy.
08:40He scored his first ever Ligue 1 goal last weekend.
08:43Nearly making it 2-2.
08:46He was denied by Dior.
08:48It dropped to the left boot of Ali Abdi.
08:54Was he in an onside position there?
08:57His first touch.
08:59Of course we checked.
09:02No signs as yet.
09:04They'll certainly see where Luce lines up.
09:08Now it's Budawi driving on.
09:11He's flicked on the back of Carlos' head.
09:13And struck by Jonathan Claus.
09:16And that was moving.
09:18Dior equal.
09:26That was heading for the top corner.
09:28Down.
09:29This needs to go forwards quickly.
09:31A nice turn from Mendy.
09:32He heads in that direction. Into Sofiane Diop. Jonathan Klaas. Packed away. Anywhere will do.
09:43Luché. Back into the middle. Mendy. Kevin Carlos. The ball just won't drop.
09:49And it's claimed by Diop. And that will surely be that.
09:58Once again, it's just not going to be there.
10:012-2. And a match winner.
10:05It was the final chance. Perhaps a game that was always destined to laugh.
10:15So that's full time. We don't have time for more.
10:21Game is over. And we watched a very, very intense encounter that ended with a draw.
10:281-1. Obdi and Samanta. Both goalscorters.
10:33And with this, the situation still interesting in the bottom part of the standings.
10:38Thank you. See you next time on Bean Sports.
10:441-1. Obdi and Samanta counts.
