PARIS (AP) — Justin Kluivert continued his good form by scoring the only goal as Nice beat Angers 1-0 in the French league to pressure Marseille in the race for second place and an automatic Champions League spot. The 22-year-old Kluivert plays on the left wing and is the son of former Netherlands striker Patrick Kluivert. In the late game Marseille was at home to struggling Clermont. Fourth-place Strasbourg drew 2-2 at Saint-Etienne while Rennes moved two points behind Strasbourg in the Europa League spot after dispatching Troyes 4-1.
