Nice will be happy with it

Weighted down by two setbacks during these last continental outings, OGC Nice reacted this Thursday by snatching a draw against Twente in the Europa League (2-2).

There is improvement in the championship, with two great victories recently signed in front of Monaco and Brest, and this was partly seen this Thursday on the European scene. Beaten during their last two UEFA journeys, on the lawns of Lazio and Ferencvaros, the Aiglons have certainly still not won after four days of the Europa League but at least they have stopped the bleeding.

As with their initial reception against Real Sociedad, the Niçois had to settle for a draw today against Twente. A sharing of points that looks like a victory, however, given the scenario of the match. Surprised at the start of the match and at the hour mark by Rots (0-1, 8e) and Lammers (0-2, 60e), the Azuréens were able to return to the game thanks to their bench.

Replacements that do good

Launched at the break, Clauss and Cho were joined on the field a quarter of an hour later by Boga, Guessand and Bouanani. New blood for a real reaction of pride, initially initiated by a Boga who had barely entered the game, with a wonderful curling strike (1-2, 66e), then relayed by an opportunistic Cho after a good cross from Clauss (2-2, 88e). A small miracle when the Gym had been playing with ten players since the 70se minute and the expulsion of Diop.

In character, OGC Nice was able to come back from the devil vauvert this Thursday. Unfortunately insufficient to join the ranks of the roadblockers since Franck Haise’s men are currently confined to 31e rung (out of 36), at a length provisionally of the 24e place. A success in three weeks at the Allianz Riviera against Rangers would certainly be welcome.
