Crisis Deepens for Nice Amid Supporter Violence and Loss to Angers

Nice Football Club faced a crisis as a supporter attack led to a seventh straight loss. After being assaulted, players took the field with the names of victims, Boga and Moffi. Angers secured a 1-0 win, while Auxerre ended their winless streak and Lorient achieved an upset victory over Lyon.

In the midst of mounting turmoil, Nice Football Club narrowly lost 1-0 to Angers, marking its seventh consecutive defeat across all competitions. The loss comes in the wake of a shocking incident where players were attacked by supporters, intensifying the club's crisis both on and off the field.

Last week's defeat at Lorient led to an altercation between players and a large group of supporters who confronted them upon their return to the club's training center. Notably, players Jérémie Boga and Terem Moffi sustained injuries and were absent from the Angers match. In a symbolic gesture, their teammates wore jerseys bearing their names.

Elsewhere in Ligue 1, Lorient caused an upset by defeating fifth-placed Lyon 1-0, while Auxerre moved out of last place with a decisive 3-1 win over Metz. As the league continues, the repercussions of Nice's internal strife remain uncertain.
