In a dominant display, Nice cruised to a 2-0 victory over Clermont in a Ligue 1 encounter, with goals from Khéphren Thuram Boudaoui and Andy Ramsey securing the win. The match highlighted the growing confidence of Nice’s young squad under the leadership of manager Alexander Djiku, as they continued their push up the table.
Boudaoui opened the scoring for Nice in the 15th minute with a clinical finish, slotting home from inside the box after some neat link-up play. The 20-year-old, who has been in excellent form this season, celebrated his goal with his trademark backflip, showcasing his flair. His goal was a well-deserved reward for his relentless energy and creativity in the final third.
Ramsey, who has been a key figure in Nice’s midfield this season, doubled the advantage just before halftime with a powerful strike. The former Liverpool midfielder controlled the ball well in the box before firing a low shot past Clermont goalkeeper Rémy Riou. This goal underlined Ramsey’s importance to Nice’s attacking play and his ability to contribute goals and assists.
Despite the early goals, Clermont refused to back down and posed a threat, particularly through the pace of Terem Moffi. However, Nice’s defense, led by the commanding presence of Gaëtan Laborde and the sharp reactions of Nice’s first-choice goalkeeper, Kevin Vardy, held firm. The visitors’ pressure was limited, and Nice dominated possession and territory, further solidifying their control over the game.
The second half saw Clermont push hard for an equalizer, but Nice’s defense remained compact and organized. The introduction of experienced winger Gaëtan Paës and the tenacity of Maxime Soumas provided some momentum, but they couldn’t break down a well-organized backline.
With the win, Nice extended their unbeaten run and moved up to eighth place in the table, continuing their momentum after a series of positive results. Boudaoui and Ramsey’s contributions were just two highlights of a collective effort that showcased Nice’s growing confidence and potential.
This victory not only boosts Nice’s confidence heading into the latter stages of the season but also reinforces their status as a side to watch in Ligue 1. With a mix of young talent and experienced heads, Nice is building a team capable of challenging for honors.
