HAS At this pace, Franck Haise will no longer have to rack his brains for his initial compositions in a few weeks. Because the busy schedule ofOGC Nice could lighten up in the spring, as the Riviera club is chasing its first success on the European scene
While they have found their cruising speed in Ligue 1, the Aiglons are disappointing in the Europa League. With only one small point gleaned during their first three outings, Franck Haise’s men had every intention of unlocking their score in a match a priori within their reach, this Thursday, against Twente. It was a failure, even if Nice resurfaced at the end of the match.
Nice reacts on the wire
The start of the match quickly set the scene, with a Nice team overwhelmed by the intensity displayed by their opponent. Logically, Twente found the opening with a victorious shot from Rots in the 8th minute of play (0-1, 8th). Stung in their pride, the people of Nice tried to revolt, without success during this first act.
And the Gym’s affairs did not improve in the second half since Twente made the break on the hour mark with a strike from Lammers (0-2, 60th). Boga revived the Aiglons with a nice curling shot in stride (1-2, 67th), then Diop left his teammates at ten for the last twenty minutes. But the Gym did not give up and Cho allowed his team to snatch a precious point (2-2, 88th). A lesser evil for a Nice team which continues to tread water.
