How it happened 

Terem Moffi was in the starting lineup for his team as he was once again called upon by his manager Didier Digard to lead the attack having recently crashed out of the Europa Conference League on Thursday by Basel.

The game started with a few attempts from both teams in the first 20 minutes, with the game looking like it would end in a draw. However, it was the away side Clemont that scored the opening goal when Johan Gastien played in Muhammed Cham, who showed great determination to get to the ball before the defenders and from inside the box shot into the top of the net.

Nice found their equaliser in the 41st minute when Gaetan Laborde fired a rebound inside the left post after the ball broke to him in the box with scores 1-1 at the break.

In a report revealed last month, the Black Football Partnership(BFP), an organization of present and former black players published its annual review of the professional game in England and Wales and revealed that the number of management-related positions held by black employees had risen from 49 individuals out of 1338(3.7 percent) in 2022 to 57 individuals out of 1304 (4.4 percent) in 2023.

In the second half, Nice came with more energy and purpose as they tried to get the second goal but to no avail. Their hopes of getting a winner before 90 minutes were crushed in the 83rd minute when Saif-Eddine Khaoui scored the winner for Clemont having latched on to a pass and produced a perfect strike from the edge of the box that went past the goalkeeper.

Nice has now lost three games in a row in all competitions and have also been eliminated from the Europa Conference League by Basel.
