Yes, I also agree with you that the game was very balanced, and it can be said that Nice won because they were lucky enough in this match. With this victory Nice can maintain their position at the top of the standings with only 1 point difference from Paris Saint Germain who are right below them.
Nice are also the only club unbeaten so far, but even so, there are still notes that they must improve, one of which is in their attack line. Because they have problems there, as evidenced by only being able to only create 10 goals from 9 matches they play.
Actually, Nice is above PSG, but this is not so important, at this stage there is only a two-point difference between PSG and Monaco and it is these three teams that will most likely get direct access to the Champions League. This season, France gets another place in the Champions League, which is a great achievement, and while Lille is in fourth place, I doubt that Brest will be able to move them up, and Marseille is still playing weakly enough, to lay claim to their place.
I think it's too early to talk about who will get a place in the Champions League for next season, because the league has just started and it's not even halfway through the season yet. It's still a long way to go to talk about who will be in first and second place.
Maybe at the moment Monaco and Nice can still be above Paris Saint Germain, but the question in my mind is whether they will be able to consistently maintain the place they are sitting now, because they still have a lot of games to play, and we also don't know what they will face later.
Monaco has really been at their best this season and I think they are aiming at the league title as well if possible but then so far with their performance, they could possibly make it but with a slight point difference or maybe goal difference but very importantly they would have to maintain this form and be consistent with good results from every game they play till the season ends, it will be really interesting to see a new champion in the Ligue 1 this season aside PSG that we have been too used to.
Camara's quick goal in the 4th minute actually made a surprise that was beyond prediction but with the performance shown by Monaco in this match it was not something that needed to be worried about. Monaco's dominance was extraordinary in this match, besides that the opportunities they had also showed confidence that indeed 3 points could be obtained easily and the result was that Golovin's brace made them get 3 points again in this match.
Currently they are still ahead at the top of the table but indeed the competition is now increasingly visible and this is quite interesting.
They showed what they should do, yes with a fairly easy opponent they should have won this match. Camara's surprise goal was answered before the end of the first half, and early in the second half they scored a quick goal to turn the game around. It was a bit of a surprise when they found it so hard to get ahead in this match, but they still managed to come out on top despite the tight goal difference.
If they can maintain their stablity, then winning the title is not impossible.
They lost to even Clermont home which had less points than them in the standings. Lyon have 0 wins in 9 games so far. If this goes on like this until the end of the first half of the season then I will be more confident about their being relegated.
