Nice have secured their place in the UEFA Europa League with a 2-1 victory over Brest in round 36 of the Ligue 1 competition.
The match, which took place at Stade Louis-II, saw Nice take control early on and were rewarded for their efforts when Maxime Lopez scored in the 27th minute to put his side ahead.
Brest responded well to the setback and equalised just before half-time through a goal from Kévin Vahid, but Nice regained the lead shortly after the restart when Moussa Dembélé headed home from close range.
Despite being behind, Brest did not give up and continued to press for an equaliser, but Nice held firm and secured a crucial win that puts them in a strong position for the rest of the season.
With this victory, Nice have moved into fourth place in the league table and are now only four points adrift of second place, which is enough to guarantee them a spot in the Europa League next term.
The win also sees Nice move closer to securing their first European qualification since 2014, when they lost out to Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa Conference League play-off round.
Overall, it was a solid performance from Nice as they showed great composure and determination to secure the win against a tough opposition. With the Europa League now within reach, the team will be hoping to continue their good form and push for even greater success in the coming weeks.
