The advantage was doubled eight minutes later. Julio Enciso struck in the 36th minute after being found by Samir El Mourabet, putting Strasbourg 2–0 up and firmly in command against a Nice side struggling to contain the home attack.

Nice’s problems deepened in the 42nd minute when El Mourabet turned goalscorer. The Strasbourg player made it 3–0 with a regular-time effort, giving the hosts a commanding lead heading into the interval. Moments later, frustration showed for the visitors as Morgan Sanson received a yellow card in the 43rd minute.

OGC Nice reacted at half-time with a triple substitution, introducing experienced defender Dante along with Charles Vanhoutte and Mohamed Cho. Strasbourg later refreshed their own lineup, including the withdrawal of El Mourabet and Ben Chilwell in the 58th minute and a double change in the 77th minute involving goalscorer Godo and defender Andrew Omobamidele.

Nice eventually pulled one back in the 82nd minute. Antoine Mendy found the net, assisted by Dante, to reduce the deficit to 3–1 and deny Strasbourg a clean sheet. The hosts made a final substitution in the 90th minute, with Enciso making way for Mathis Amougou.

The match finished 3–1 in favour of Strasbourg. Beyond the goals, one booking and a series of substitutions, more detailed statistical data and additional match events were not provided in the available report.
