Nice started the new Ligue 1 season with a 1-0 victory over Rennes on Sunday as emotional tributes were paid to the 85 people killed in last month's terror attack.
Teenage debutant Malang Sarr's second-half header ensured a winning start for new Nice coach Lucien Favre, but the atmosphere was sombre at the Allianz Riviera just a month after the southern French city was rocked by the attack.
Both teams wore a commemorative kit with the names of the victims printed on the front in the shape of a heart, while 85 balloons were released in the centre circle before a minute's silence was observed prior to kick-off.
The kits worn by the players were set to be auctioned off after the match with the proceeds going to the victims' families.
"We were eager to win, especially on this particular day for all the people of Nice. We really wanted to make the tribute even more beautiful," said Nice captain Paul Baysse.
