Nice edged past Strasbourg 2-1 at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday, 11 October 2026, in a Ligue 1 clash that stayed tight from start to finish. The hosts went in level at the break after Strasbourg cancelled out an early opener, and the match could easily have gone either way at that stage. But Nice found a bit more composure after the interval, grabbing what turned out to be the winner and then digging in to see the game through. For Nice, the three points will matter plenty, especially given how close the scoreline suggests things were. It's the kind of narrow home win that settles nerves without papering over the fact Strasbourg made life difficult for long spells. Strasbourg, meanwhile, will be frustrated to leave Nice empty-handed after pulling level before half-time. They'll need to find a way to close games like this out if they want to turn near-misses into points on the road.
