The Girondins hoped that this 35th day would be a turning point.

It was finally one more episode of their long way of the cross towards Ligue 2.

They did not take the opportunity to pick up the barrage Saint-Etienne, who lost to Rennes (2-0) on Saturday.

The disastrous deadline seems inevitable... With four points behind the Greens, Bordeaux, nineteenth, could be relegated the next day if he loses in Angers, Saint-Etienne wins in Nice and Clermont does not lose. not against Montpellier.

For Nice, these three points allow them to stay in the race for the podium, the third Rennes being two lengths away.

Above all, the men of Christophe Galtier, dominating, were full of confidence before facing Nantes on Saturday at the Stade de France, to win the club's first trophy in 25 years.

Bordeaux were not big enough to compete with the Niçois, who could have increased the bill without a great awkwardness in front of goal.

Dominated throughout, in the impact, in the middle facing a radiant Khéphren Thuram, struggling to keep balls in front, to come out, the Girondins held out until the last quarter of an hour before being punished.

Not on a brilliant action, there weren't many in this part despite the visitor's stranglehold, but on an involuntary and unfortunate return from Tom Lacoux directly on Andy Delort who only had to push the ball (74th).

So certainly, the Bordelais tried everything behind, to save face and their honor, but it was far too timid and not frank enough to worry the best defense of L1 and a Walter Benitez almost unemployed on this holiday. work.

This epilogue was inevitable as the Niçois controlled this rhythmic part during the first act with incredible technical errors at this level from the players with the scapular, feverish like Benoit Costil (10th), Anel Ahmedhodzic (21st) or Yacine Adli ( 42nd).

On the first, Dolbert, found by Justin Kluivert, shot towards goal but Gideon Mensah saved his side.

On the second, Delort volleyed a cross from Boudaoui but was blocked by Josuha Guilavogui and on the third, he couldn't find the target.

On the restart, Nice accentuated his domination and Costil recalled that he could be decisive on a header at close range and too much on him from Thuram, which he spectacularly released (58) e.

After the unfortunate goal conceded, and despite the surely too late entries of the dynamic Thibault Klidje and Sekou Mara, the public believed in a start.

In vain, because in fact, Nice especially failed to double the bet three times by Amine Gouiri (80th), Delort again (82nd), and finally an incredible miss from Bilal Brahimi (90th + 3).
