Lyon beating second-placed Nice 1-0
17.02.24 / 08:00
With only one victory in 12 games, the seven-time champion was at the bottom of the league when Sage took over at the end of November.
Lyon is now six points clear of the relegation zone and in 11th position after its sixth victory in its previous eight league games. Orel Mangala, a Belgian midfielder, swept home a low cross from the right. Since joining the team on loan from Nottingham Forest during the January transfer window, it was his first goal for the team. Nice was just one point ahead of Monaco and two clear of Brest at the beginning of the evening, having begun the game in second position, 11 points behind leader Paris Saint-Germain. If Monaco and Brest win their match on Sunday, they will pass Nice and go into second place.
