OGC Nice and Losc left back to back at the Allianz-Riviera this Friday as a curtain raiser for Ligue 1 (1-1).
Mixed start to the season for the Aiglons and the Dogues… While everything was not perfect of course for this great first in the league – a baptism of fire also for the Italian coach Francesco Farioli – the people of Nice have long believed they have made the perfect move with a short but precious victory at the key. This was without taking into account the application of the new regulations.
Everything started well for the Gym, fairly quickly rewarded for its offensive drive by this pretty ball stung sent by Laborde into the cage of Chevalier (1-0, 19e). With Sanson, Boga or even Moffi to give rhythm to the Côte d’Azur offensives, the pass of two was quickly made in stride but Thuram found himself trapped offside (20e). And behind, Bulka, left to be number one in the Nice goal this season, did what was necessary to preserve the advantage of his people.

Forced to chase after the score, the Lille residents struggled to express themselves as they should at the outposts, like a David in need of an edge. This until additional time, generous as desired by the Technical Department of Arbitration according to international recommendations. The six minutes of rab decreed without much stoppage of play in the second act will have got the better of the ascendancy of the OGCN in the poster board. A free kick from Gomes well cut from the head by Diakité and the two teams to share the points on the wire (1-1, 90e+4). Ligue 1 will wait to have its first leader of the season.
