In the thrilling end-to-end affair that was Nice v Nantes on Saturday, it was the hosts who emerged victorious in a match that featured some memorable moments and a late goal from Boudaoui to secure victory.

The game started off brightly for Nice, with their attacking trio of Gomis, Zouma and Jallet creating plenty of chances early on. However, Nantes were determined not to let them get away with anything and responded well to the early pressure.

However, it was Nice who took the lead in the 36th minute when Gomis scored his second goal of the season after some excellent work from Jallet. The French striker finished off a one-two with Jallet before slotting home from close range.

Nantes came back strongly in the second half and threatened to equalise several times, but Nice held firm and looked set to take all three points. However, it was Nantes who were awarded a penalty in the 85th minute when Dardai fouled Jallet in the box.

Boudaoui stepped up to convert the spot-kick and give Nice the lead once again. The Moroccan forward had earlier been involved in the build-up to the goal, playing a key role in Nice's attack throughout the match.

Despite the loss, Nantes can take heart from the fact that they put in a solid performance and created plenty of chances against a strong Nice side. They will be hoping to bounce back from this defeat soon and continue their impressive run of form in Ligue 1.

Overall, it was a great match between two top sides and one that will go down in history as a classic. It was a testament to both teams' quality and determination, and it was nice to see Nice emerge victorious in the end.
