00:00And he's aiming to keep their unbeaten home record this season intact as they bid for a sixth consecutive win at Allianz Riviera.
00:10So back into Liga's top three. Montpellier, losers of each of their last three games, have picked up just three points away from home this season.
00:19They are on the attack.
00:22Early on, though, the visitors are wearing their golden fourth strip this afternoon to commemorate the club's 50-year anniversary.
00:34He's chosen by supporters after a vote, following a desire to win each of their last 16 outings.
00:45The attack here. Here comes the cross and it's a vital clearance from Eyal Mwanka.
01:04Pedalli, marauding forwards. Space here for Guesson. He finds Clos. And Nice have struck first through Jonathan Clos.
01:17In the 30th minute, just carving open the Montpellier defence. That's been a problem all season for the league's bottom side.
01:29And Jonathan Clos giving the host the lead with his third goal of the season.
01:39It's a good initial pass from Pedalli. Found Guesson. And his ball through.
01:45Picked out. Clos. Eighth assist of the season as well for Evan Guesson.
01:51That's a word to Lecomte, it could do.
01:55Just inside the far corner.
02:16Chateau in possession. Looking to pick out Andy Delort. And it's saved well by Abouka.
02:27To be offside though. So Jonathan Clos's third goal of the season.
02:35Halftime at the Allianz Riviera. Nice are in control with a one-nil lead over Montpellier.
02:41Jonathan Clos found the net with a great finish, giving the host the advantage.
02:47Still 45 minutes to go. Can Montpellier turn it around? Or will Nice extend their lead?
02:53We will know it on Beansports.
02:57So away we go. Back underweight in the Allianz Riviera.
03:03Where Nice are leading Montpellier by a goal to nil thanks to Jonathan Clos's third goal of the season,
03:10which came on the 30-minute mark.
03:13Nice heading towards a fair start of the season in the league last week.
03:21Luchet scored a goal in the cup in the last round.
03:26But Nice were stunned at late on by a goal to nil.
03:32And they have a second. It's Hicham Boudaoui, Laporte, a squaring-off.
03:38And it's a goal to nil.

04:01It's to the Algerian.
04:03And Nice lead by two goals to nil.
04:07Just past the hour mark at the Allianz Riviera.
04:13They had a chance not long ago.
04:17A similar situation this time.
04:20And they make no mistake.
04:22It was a good awareness by Agata Laporte.
04:30A powerful run from Nguesson.
04:33And Laporte throwing it into the path of Boudaoui.
04:39And Boudaoui slotting beyond a couple defenders.
04:43And the goalkeeper may have been unsighted by his teammates Lecomte.
04:48A goal straight down the middle of the goal from Boudaoui.
04:56An injury this season.
04:58The younger of the Jopp brothers.
05:02Boudaoui.
05:04Kloos.
05:06Now Laporte.
05:08Piata's header.
05:10Goes behind.
05:13And Kazri.
05:15Clicked on.
05:19Once again.
05:21Doing enough to keep Montpellier at bay.
05:26Five minutes have added on that time.
05:29So not quite over just yet.
05:31Here comes Jopp.
05:33Kloos.
05:36That's Bogut.
05:39That's Bogut.
05:41And it's a tame hit right at Lecomte.
05:55Dompele.
05:57The step over is Dompele.
05:59Laporte.
06:01Scoops it towards the far post.
06:03And just beyond the reach of.

06:23Before the international break.
06:25There is a chance perhaps.
