At the start of the nineteenth "Ligue 1" round - "Nice" victory over "Montpellier" (VIDEO)

As usual, the battles of the French championship began on Friday evening. In the first match of the nineteenth round, which will conclude the first round, "Nice" and "Montpellier" met. The fervent struggle gathered the fans at the Nice stadium from the very first minutes. The scene on the field remained almost unchanged throughout the match, as perfectly illustrated by the equal statistics. Nevertheless, the hosts managed to capitalize on their opportunities slightly better - Olivier Boscagli scored the only goal of the match in the 31st minute, rushing to the ball rebounded by the goalkeeper. By earning three points, the "Nice" football players temporarily rose to fifth place and have every chance of competing for the highest awards. However, "Montpellier" did not lose much ground either, currently holding the thirteenth position and likely to descend even further. The club is only nine points behind from the second place.
