Nice secured a significant 1-0 victory against Brest at the Stade Francis-Le Blé, propelled by a goal from Ivorian Evann Guessand just before the break.

 While Brest continues to struggle in Ligue 1, marking their fifth defeat, they maintain a surprisingly strong performance in the Champions League, where they are undefeated and poised for the knockout stages. They are set to face Sparta, considered one of the weaker teams in the tournament, next Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Nice is on the rise, with Guessand's goal, assisted by Tunisian Ali Abdi, securing three points to consolidate their position in fifth place in the league standings, just one goal behind Marseille who occupies the final Champions League qualifying spot.

Under the guidance of Franck Haise, Nice has now gone six games unbeaten, comfortably positioned in the upper echelons of the table.
