Winner of AJ Auxerre on Saturday evening, OGC Nice had to rely on a penalty shootout to validate its ticket for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France (0-0, 4-2 on the tabs). ).
The second in Ligue 1 hosted the second in Ligue 2 on Saturday evening, as part of the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. Yet ahead on paper, OGC Nice had all the difficulty in the world to get rid of enterprising Burgundians who came close to a good shot at the end of the game. Nice therefore qualified on penalties, without either team finding the fault during regulation time.
Dominant in the first period, the locals were on target four times without opening the scoring, while Auxerre did not worry Bulka. The Nice goalkeeper who was hardly more worried, even if Auxerre offered some good actions, too often poorly concluded on the outskirts of the opponent’s area. As a result, everything came down to penalties.
Decisive Bulka
A session that got off to a bad start for the Aiglons, with Guessand seeing his attempt repelled by the hand of De Percin. But two shooters later, Perrin also missed the mark by hitting the post, allowing Nice to get back into the race. Then Bulka came out of his box to stop Onaiwu’s shot, allowing Laborde to score the winning shot. An opportunity that the attacker did not miss. The Niçois are in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, but the door was narrow.
