Nice and Lorient drew 0-0 in Ligue 1 on Saturday in Nice, both starting their campaigns with a point after back lines and goalkeepers held firm.

Antoine Mendy then glanced a header over from a corner (32.).

After the restart, Jean-Victor Makengo forced Yehvann Diouf into a save from the centre of the area (61.). Moments later, Mamadou Koné saw a close-range attempt blocked (61.).

Jonathan Clauss headed wide from Diop's cross (66.). The wing-back was later withdrawn with an apparent injury, Hamza Koutoune coming on (81.).

Oluwatosin Aiyegun nodded over in the second minute of second half stoppage time as Lorient threatened late.
