Paris FC eased to a 3-0 win over Nice at the Stade Charléty on Sunday, 30 August 2026, and made it look fairly comfortable once they'd got their noses in front. A single goal separated the sides at the break, but the home side pulled clear after half-time to secure a result that was rarely in doubt in the closing stages. Pierre Lees Melou pulled the strings all afternoon and thoroughly deserved his 8.5 rating, dictating play and giving Paris FC a level of control that Nice just couldn't match when it mattered. The numbers don't tell the full story here. Nice actually shaded possession and had the edge on corners, four to two, but Paris FC matched them shot for shot, fifteen apiece, and made their four on target count for far more. This was a proper statement win for Paris FC, the kind that settles nerves early in the season, while Nice will head home wondering how a game they had spells of dominance in ended up so one-sided on the scoreboard.
The Matchup
Paris FC beat Nice 3-0 at Stade Charléty, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Paris FC also had the better share of the ball, holding 46% possession, which usually goes hand in hand with the extra control a winning side tends to show. The shot count told a similar story, with 15 attempts from Paris FC against 15 from Nice over the course of the game. Nice had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day. Small margins like this one tend to add up over a season, and results such as this are often what separates teams in the table further down the line. Here is a closer look at exactly how the two sides compared, statistically.
