Algeria international striker Mohamed Amoura set up Morocco attacking midfielder Sofiane Diop for the opening goal after just two minutes, helping OGC Nice to a 2-0 win at Angers and a climb from 8th to 5th in Ligue 1.
Two minutes were enough for Mohamed Amoura to deliver his assist: a burst down the left flank, then a low cross to the far post. Sofiane Diop simply had to side-foot the ball home with his right foot on Sunday 8 November 2026 to open the scoring. OGC Nice won 2-0 at Angers, according to Dzfoot, Le360 Sport and OneFootball.
The same Amoura was decisive for the third game in a row, according to La Gazette du Fennec, after a goal against Rennes (5-2) and an assist at Brest. Attacking midfielder Sofiane Diop was named man of the match.
An overhead kick and a late second
Amoura tried his luck again: in the 53rd minute he went for an overhead kick with his right foot, which Angers goalkeeper Anthony Lopes gathered, according to MadeInFoot. It was Jonathan Clauss, the OGC Nice defender, who scored the second goal in the 78th minute with a strike from a tight angle after a Gauthier Hein pass, OneFootball reports.
Nice had 8 shots on target to Angers’ 4 and took 14 attempts inside the box to the SCO’s 7, according to OneFootball. Head coach Olivier Pantaloni, bereaved by the loss of his father earlier in the week, saw his team win, according to So Foot.
