Match in Five Sentences: LOSC and Nice played out a 0-0 draw in Ligue 1. Sepe Elye Wahi thought he had put the visitors ahead in the 12th minute, but VAR ruled offside. After the restart, Chancel Mbemba headed against the post (53.), before VAR decided there was no penalty for LOSC (71.). LOSC had 61.6% possession and nine attempts, yet only two were on target as Les Aiglons defended deep. LOSC remain third and visit Paris FC next, while Les Aiglons stay 15th and travel to Strasbourg in the Coupe de France.

Player of the Match: Juma Bah anchored the defence with authority, making 13 clearances and two key blocks to help Les Aiglons keep a clean sheet.

Stat of the Match: Les Aiglons made 33 clearances, a snapshot of their defensive resolve under pressure.

Three Things We Learned: VAR shaped the visitors' night, with an early finish overturned for offside and a later check yielding no spot kick for LOSC. LOSC controlled the ball at 61.6% and produced nine attempts, but only two tested the goalkeeper, which explains the stalemate. Hákon Arnar Haraldsson created two key passes and drew five fouls, carrying much of LOSC's threat between the lines.
