00:00And again it comes down to this. Champions League ambitions on the line. Brest have been there and done that this year.
00:05But victory for Nice tonight at the Allianz Riviera will send them into the Champions League preliminary round for next season.
00:12This is the match that means the most on the final night of Ligue 1. And it's right here, right now.
00:17And the away strip. The black and red of Nice as Brest get us underway.
00:23The long ball sent towards Ajok. Brought down and some support here on the near side.
00:34Kenny Lala sends it in and it goes harmlessly over the top of goal.
00:38And Diaya was there. Picked up by Brest once more. On the break now is Budawi.
00:44Slips it through. Here's Gerson. Still going Gerson. Can pass instead.
00:50He'll find the back of the net. Eben Gerson gives Nice the lead.
00:55Such an important moment in the season.
01:00Delivers under pressure. Took the extra touch.
01:03And it is a man that looks cool, calm and collected.
01:07Slipped it through and it was that tackle there that set Gerson.
01:11It opened the gates. He had a player left and right.
01:15Instead he wanted to take on the keeper.
01:20Nala tracking there. Same with Loco.
01:23Bizzot couldn't do anything.
01:27A man on a mission.
01:29Two points adrift of the Eaglets.
01:32Long ball again. It's Gerson.
01:35Who read the play nicely. Chips the ball.
01:38Half a chance here. Surely.
01:39There had to be some contact. The referee was on hand.
01:43Bard picks it up and will lift it in.
01:46And a chance there all the time in the world.
01:48And they will make it 2-0 through Gaetan Laborde.
01:52A couple of goals in a couple of minutes.
01:57Nice to Brest nil.
02:00Celebration drink there from Frank Heise.
02:03Initially it was Laborde who went down.
02:08And he'll feel he got his just desserts here.
02:11Bard lifted it in.
02:13And then it was put on a platter.
02:20A lot of these defenders from Brest in no man's land.
02:24No contention over whether that ball stayed in or not.
02:28Guess on. Laborde.
02:31From goal scorer to provider.
02:33End of his third season.
02:34An ex-Rams player.
02:36A little slip here.
02:39Needs to make a better choice.
02:41He's given it up.
02:42Laborde is there.
02:43And Santa Maria couldn't find the back of the net in any case.
02:47It's the referee scene here.
02:49Didn't have his wits about him.
02:55We all know that Evan Gesson does.
02:58Did the U-turn.
03:00And in came Klos.
03:02Dispossessed him.
03:03And was there enough in there to warrant a penalty.
03:0850-50 challenge for much of that.
03:10The ball rolling away.
03:12Don't think anyone would have predicted this so early in the game.
03:17Splendid charts here.
03:19It's Buenani from 12 yards up against Marco Pizzotti.
03:28It makes no mistake.
03:31And it is the spark to again line up the Allianz Riviera.
03:35Well, the opening five minutes of Brest were getting forwards.
03:42And again it was calm.
03:43He picked his spot.
03:45Hit it sweetly.
03:45Gives Nice a 3-0 lead by Eric Roy at the break.
03:51He is the present French manager of the year.
03:54There's a wonderful ball through.
03:55It's Pereira Lange.
03:57He goes well wide and high.
04:00And much to the amusement of the home fans.
04:03City's watch blows the whistle.
04:05Halftime break here at the Allianz Riviera.
04:07A deserving 3-0 lead for Nice.
04:09Nice over Brest.
04:11The goals from Gesson, Laborde.
04:13And the penalty dispatched by Buenani.
04:19Evan Gesson has perhaps been the protagonist in this first half.
04:22Who did have his end of first half interview.
04:29And he looked a disappointed man as Nice get us underway in the second half.
04:34Three goal cushion should be enough to see them through for Champions League qualification in terms of the preliminary round.
04:41Attacked in packs there.
04:45But now they have to be careful because the ball can be put through.
04:48Nice looking for a fourth goal.
04:49Here they go.
04:51That's a massive save.
04:52Reaction save from Marco Bizzotti.
04:55This was the break before from Nice with Laborde.
05:04He played in his colleague there with Badradin Buenani.
05:09And look at that save.
05:14Stunning from the goal.
05:15They start to make their runs.
05:16Gesson is one of them.
05:18Into the box.
05:18It will be drifted in.
05:20And the goal comes for number four.
05:23And what a strike that is.
05:24A glorious night for Nice.
05:27And it's 4-0.
05:30Weighted perfectly to the back post.
05:36And it was ruthless.
05:38And beautiful at the same time.
05:42And they can afford to start dreaming of Champions League football.
05:46Especially with the way they can manufacture these goals.
05:51But supplying.
05:55And Laborde dispatching.
06:00Again, Loco just watching that ball go over his head.
06:03And Bizzotti forced.
06:04Sanson waiting.
06:10And Luchet straight down the middle.
06:12It has opened up for 5-0.
06:14Surely.
06:15Must be.
06:16And is.
06:17Is Teremoffi.
06:18His first goal of this season.
06:23And a big reason to celebrate.
06:26Only played 45 minutes before this evening.
06:29With an MCL injury.
06:31They surround him.
06:33But that breast defence.
06:34If you can call it that.
06:37Rounds the keeper.
06:38Had the time.
06:39And Bizzotti really cannot believe how this night has turned out.
06:47Moffitt getting a piece of the action.
06:49At the Alianz Riviera.
06:51And look what it means.
06:52Not just to him.
06:55And there's our glance.
06:56It's.
06:59Sanson.
07:00He's mending.
07:01One way than the other.
07:03It's there.
07:04For 6-0.
07:05Surely now.
07:06Ali Abdi.
07:11It fell to him.
07:13It was fortuitous.
07:15But he doesn't care.
07:18Another substitute amongst the goals.
07:20For Nice.
07:24It was all Mendy there.
07:25And that touch that comes off Ndiayet.
07:28It created the chaos.
07:33And Moffitt wanted the brace.
07:34Abdi will take the goal.
07:40Ricocheted around.
07:42Lala watching on.
07:46It's Lala land for Brest.
07:48But not for Ali Abdi.
07:51Plenty more happening.
07:52For French football over the coming weeks.
07:55With PSG in the Champions League final.
07:57And that's where Nice would love to be.
07:58In that very competition.
08:00As Front Eyes' side runs out.
08:02It's a romp at the Allianz Riviera at 6-0 over Brest.
