00:01but is this the night for one of these sites to really shine at last under the
00:05lights here as we get going at the start Abbey Deschamps a whole shipload of
00:13goals for Auxerre conceded already 11th let in in the first three games that
00:20does not bode well Danny Namasso is to the side of his captain for Auxerre
00:28now do they rush or do they stay on the line they're trying to rush it and
00:31they just about got away with it Namasso had the shot blocked right on the line
00:36what a let off for Nice Namasso again
00:42and Nice can breathe again now
00:54very nearly the worst of all starts for Nice Danwa to take the corner for Auxerre
01:02little telling the youngster how it's done
01:08Piafoe return
01:11goal kicks the decision comes to nothing for Auxerre Piafoe is having a little word in the ear of the
01:19referee there
01:28Pontelloni hoping for some order around him as he tries to make his mark at Nice
01:36season full of upheaval at every level last time round Franck Aix has had such a great career
01:43but uh unceremoniously let go at Christmas time
01:50Coyd Puel came back for a second spell
01:52first real shot of menace and it's a decent sharp save by Dieu
01:56really working that left side pretty effectively here
02:00in the first 20 odd minutes tonight Nice do it again here
02:03momentum drop but there was
02:06really fine flying stop
02:09from Jopp
02:12the chance came the way of Amora
02:15and he turned on it really well
02:18Tuanzebe
02:19very comfortable with the ball at his feet
02:21that's a very useful addition from Auxerre's point of view
02:26goalkeeper gets everything behind it
02:27strong suspicion of offside but the game goes on
02:33Klaus
02:35that's not the best pass of his long career by a long way
02:39Archer
02:42Namasso
02:44back to Archer learning to play together those two
02:46that's a great ball to Wai
02:48anyway
02:51it's understating it to say he's missed the target
02:54he very near the corner flag instead there
03:01and he was veering on offside I suspect but inside him
03:06Amora is centre forward is really annoyed with him he's standing on that penalty spot thinking just square it for
03:11me
03:11and full of endeavour
03:14it's been some entertaining football given the plight of these two clubs near the foot of Liga that there's no
03:19breakthrough
03:20a couple of very very near things for the nice goalkeeper early on and a couple of decent chances at
03:26the other end squandered as nice came into it
03:28Auxerre nil nice nil at half
03:33that won't please the referee either I don't think
03:39je n'ai pas sifflé
03:43here we go
03:49Diouf the visiting goalkeeper came through a couple of really nervy minutes
03:53at the start of this game
03:57here's Makasso
04:00Makasso who
04:01had a spell at Oxford United
04:03oh it's a slip
04:03Archer's in
04:05can he finish it off
04:07not quite
04:08credit to goalkeeper Diouf
04:12it should be 1-0 Auxerre
04:17and Yashimni
04:20really misjudges that very badly indeed and
04:23he has been blessed to get away with it
04:25and he knows it
04:28tiny little nudge that's what he's complaining about but there wasn't much of a nudge
04:34Archer couldn't force it over the line
04:45and suddenly the energy seems to be draining away from the Auxerre players they need to put that right quickly
04:51goalkeeper got down comfortably but it's still in play
04:53with a great cross second time there
04:59and a full stretch the goalkeeper claims it which is what Auxerre needed
05:03on the back post last time what about this time into the middle
05:06good variety on them from Klaus
05:08and back to him
05:10and back to him
05:11touched it
05:11reversed it excellent
05:13and crosses
05:14great build up from Nice
05:16can they find the goal
05:18no is the answer
05:19they've got another corner
05:22Amoura from the edge of the box this time
05:26Nice are beginning
05:29to resemble the team we admired for so long
05:32regularly in the top six
05:34this is much more positive at the moment
05:36from Pantalone's team tonight
05:37but they need to make the advantage
05:41territorially
05:43tactically pay for them
05:46now maybe they can break through
05:50C
05:51under your chimney
05:54Nice needed to do better than that
05:55and got away with it second time
05:59I honestly think that Auxerre really rushed that on the end of it to be honest with you
06:02Labo Lascari really should be doing better here
06:05a little bit of composure but he's not going to score from there
06:09sure powering the legs to run forward the way he used to do
06:12but he and I have been excellent
06:14in footballing terms tonight
06:44a slip and it might be costly
06:46on the same wavelength at all
06:48that's just one little example of a player being too
06:50too careful with that cross
06:52it needed to come in
06:53and now Auxerre might punish them going the other way
06:55it's lifted way over the top of the crossbar
07:00so much good running tonight from Archer
07:06again here
07:09he gets that first touch which pushes the ball out in front of himself
07:16it was looking like his big moment but he's off balance
07:26through the middle
07:28is this time going to be this moment
07:30yes
07:32he celebrates
07:35a home debut with an all in ball
07:37Auxerre goal
07:39Cameron Archer
07:41undeterred by the miss a moment ago
07:44kept his composure
07:45and when the chance came this time
07:47he made absolutely certain
07:49it might be against the run of play
07:51but nobody here cares very much
07:54Auxerre going front
08:03same
08:04on repeat
08:05slicing through the middle
08:07away from Undia's chimney
08:08and he's gone the long way around
08:09the goalkeeper
08:12gave himself a bit to do
08:13but a very accomplished finish this time
08:17Nice caught out again
08:20and this time they really pay for it
08:27come on he says
08:31pass is completed
08:33it's a very one-sided picture
08:34but it matters not if you're 1-0 up at home
08:37with the clock against Nice
08:39Wai
08:40again he didn't hit it
08:42at full stretch when it did come in
08:44goalkeeper's equal to it
08:46but he waited and waited
08:48trying to be sure
08:49we've seen a lot of that tonight
08:51from these players
08:53remember just one goal
08:550-4 for the team before tonight
08:56Wai was the player who got it of course
08:57should have hit it there
09:02the confidence factor is massive
09:04in this Nice side at the moment
09:06they need to get the ball in the net urgently
09:11and that is not going to do the trick
09:1380th minute
09:13and if
09:16Wai is on the way in this game
09:18Nice surely need to do something about it
09:20Fav does pick it up and drive forward with it this time
09:22he could go on his own
09:24he tried to bend it into that
09:27right side of the goal there
09:34he won't exactly be rushing over there to take the corner incidentally
09:38and it looks like Equai is coming on as well
09:42for Piafou
09:55Nice
09:57have got to
09:58find a bit more now
10:00Amora
10:03what they have got for themselves is a free kick
10:06Latexier the referee has looked at the watch here
10:08the cross does come in now
10:12Oxair grab a first victory of the season
10:15but season in and season out
10:17this is one ground where Nice always seem to struggle
10:20a night of near misses for Nice
10:22four games in
10:23the new coach Pantoloni
10:26just two points for him
10:27but the winning feeling
10:29for Wills still here
10:30for Oxair
10:31you
10:32you
10:38you
10:40you
