Nice takes an option!

OGC Nice signed a precious victory on the lawn of Sheriff Tiraspol, this Thursday evening (1-0).

Everything was not perfect, but the first part of the contract is fulfilled. Traveling to Chisinau on the poor lawn of Stadionul Zimbru, Nice continued their good series by collecting a precious success in their first leg against Sheriff Tiraspol (1-0). An excellent operation for the Aiglons, who will now have to finish the job to reach the quarter-finals of this Europa League Conference.

Didier Digard’s men made a very serious copy, but they also benefited from a zest of luck to bring back this result. In fact, a small goal was enough to make them happy – and what a goal! We were playing stoppage time in the first period when Ayoub Amraoui, off the corner of the surface, unleashed a marvelous strike that ended in the top corner (0-1, 45th + 3).

Nice does the job

Before and after that, the Gym had not really shone in its expression. The first period was even particularly dull, with little ammunition to put in their teeth. The second was a little more breathtaking. The Aiglons could and should have taken a break on several interesting situations, but they lacked realism in the last gesture, like Laborde (48th) or Dante, whose attempt crashed into the post (81st) .

But opposite, the Sheriff had not abdicated. The locals also sent shivers through the Nice defense. Schmeichel had a bit of luck seeing Zohouri’s shot hit his crossbar (72nd). Threatening until the end, the Tiraspol players remained silent. To the delight of the people of Nice, who will have to be just as applied to punch their ticket.
