Jérémie Boga emerged as the hero for OGC Nice on Sunday, securing a 2-1 victory against Reims with a spectacular performance.
Ivorian forward Jérémie Boga, whose remarkable contribution saved them from settling for a draw. Gaëtan Laborde broke the deadlock for the Aiglons in the second half, scoring the opening goal in the 55th minute after a challenging start.
However, Reims responded with a goal from Moroccan international Yunis Abdelhamid in the 78th minute, seemingly setting the stage for a deadlock.
But just as the visitors were relishing their comeback, Boga changed the narrative in the 88th minute.
In a breathtaking move, the former Atalanta star artfully maneuvered past Reims’ defenders on the edge of the box, unleashing a low shot that caught the opposition goalkeeper off-guard.
The ball slipped through the goalkeeper’s grasp, finding its way into the net.
This crucial strike secured the victory for Le Gym in this Ligue 1 fixture, clinching a 2-1 win and propelling them to second place in the standings with 32 points.
They currently sit four points behind league leaders PSG. Notably, Jérémie Boga’s goal marked only his second of the season in 13 Ligue 1 appearances.
Boga’s moment of brilliance provided Nice with a much-needed win, elevating their position in the league and reinforcing their pursuit of the top spot.
As Nice continues their campaign, Boga’s impact on the field could prove pivotal in their quest for sustained success in the French top-flight competition.
