OGC Nice lost against Glasgow Rangers this Thursday evening in the Europa League (1-4).

31st at kick-off with 2 small points gleaned from its first four outings, OGC Nice played big against Glasgow Rangers, this Thursday evening, for the 5th day of this regular phase of the Europa League. After drawing two matches at home, Franck Haise’s team had every intention of unlocking their victory counter.

But the context of the day was particularly difficult for the Aiglons. At the heart of an overloaded schedule, Franck Haise was faced with a real headache. The Nice coach had concocted a completely new eleven due to a barrage of injuries and suspensions. A setting which ultimately weighed down the people of Nice.

Nice disappoints again

Not effective enough in the two zones of truth, the Aiglons were unable to ride on their newfound form in Ligue 1 to finally achieve this first victory on the European scene. The opening score came after half an hour of play by Cerny (0-1, 35th), before Diomandé made the break immediately (0-2, 38th).

An advantage intelligently managed by the Scots, who set about reciting their scales during a one-sided second period. Igamane, who had already found the net in stoppage time in the first period (0-3, 45th+3), scored his double after returning from the locker room (0-4, 54th). Bouanani’s late score reduction changed nothing (1-4, 86th). Nice can’t do it.
