PARIS — Coach Paulo Fonseca watched from the stands and saw his substitutions pay off as Lyon won 2-0 at Nice to maintain its push for a Champions League place. Fonseca began his nine-month touchline ban in Ligue 1 after aggressively confronting referee Benoît Millot last weekend. Subs Rayan Cherki and Ernest Nuamah netted second-half goals as sixth-placed Lille stayed just behind Lille and Monaco. Elsewhere Liam Rosenior's first season in charge of Strasbourg is going well and the Alsace-based club strengthened its grip on seventh by winning 1-0 at Nantes with a late goal.
