Soccer Betting Lines

03/06/2010 - Nice, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Substitute Issiar Dia scored in stoppage time to hand Nancy a 3-2 win over Nice at the Municipal du Ray on Saturday.

Djamel Bakar scored five minutes into the game for Nancy, but the hosts answered two minutes later through Renato Civelli. Jonathan Brison restored Nancy's lead 20 minutes later, and again Nice had an answer as Chaouki Ben Saada leveled the match for a second time before the break.

However, Dia was on hand two minutes into stoppage time to follow up Bakaye Traore's shot and tap in the rebound to give his team all three points.

Nancy moves up to 12th place with the win, while Nice is just one place above the drop zone and six points clear of Le Mans, which has played two less games.

Julien Feret set up the opener five minutes into the game when he stole the ball and played Bakar in on goal. Bakar then drove a strong shot past goalkeeper David Ospina, putting his side ahead, 1-0.

It didn't take long for Nice to equalize as Emerse Fae's flicked header from a corner kick allowed Civelli to score with a diving header from close range.

However, the visitors went back ahead in the 27th minute when goalkeeper Gennaro Bracigliano played a long goal-kick to Brison, who brought the ball down and fired a well-placed shot into the upper right corner of the net.

Ben Saada pulled Nice level 10 minutes later when he finished off a close- range pass from Loic Remy, and the second half nearly saw the hosts go ahead straight from a corner kick as Didier Digard's cross needed to be cleared off the goal line by Reynald Lemaitre.

The game appeared to be headed for a draw, but after a low shot from Traore was stopped by Ospina, Dia pounced on the rebound to tap in the winning goal.

Lyon was held to a 0-0 draw by second-from-the-bottom Boulogne, Auxerre downed Valenciennes, 1-0, Lille finished 1-1 with St Etienne, Ryad Boudebouz scored six minutes from time to give Sochaux a 1-0 win over Toulouse, Lens and PSG played to a 1-1 draw, and Rennes downed Monaco, 1-0, with Carlos Bocanegra scoring the lone goal in the first half.
