Olympique de Marseille scored a hard-fought 1-0 win at Nice for matchday 10 in Ligue 1 Conforama to launch a critical week for the club in the best possible manner. Mario Balotelli, back in the starting line-up for Nice, went searching for his customary goal against OM, denied twice by goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, especially with a shot on target at the 24th minute while the game was still goalless.
