Nice started brightly, but Clermont quickly found their rhythm, with defender Adrien Boudaoui breaking through the Nice defense to score the opener just before halftime. The goal was greeted by a raucous reception from the home crowd, who had been eagerly awaiting a victory after several disappointing results.
