Heroic Nice's goalkeeper Benitez to keep the win at Lyon
  • 6 years ago
Mario Balotelli's presence stole the headlines ; Allan Saint-Maximin got the winning goal, but the Nice 1-0 win at Lyon would have been impossible if not for Walter Benitez. The goalkeeper only displaced Yoan Cardinale as number 1 last season, but has kept his place under new manager Patrick Vieira, and, on this performance, for good reason. The Argentinian dominated his box, organised his defence, and pulled off seven saves from gilt-edged chances.
