The disaster is confirmed for OGC Nice. While the Aiglons’ latest reception at the Allianz Riviera turned into a free-for-all – the Riviera fans not accepting the consequences of a goalless draw against Metz synonymous with 16e final place in the championship – the Professional Football League had to crack down this Wednesday.
In view of the “ behavior of OGC Nice supporters: use and throwing of pyrotechnic devices, invasion of the pitch and damage at the final whistle » during the 34e day of L1, this Sunday, May 17, the disciplinary committee did not spare the Gym.
A closed session that comes at a bad time
Were thus decreed “ two matches behind closed doors and one suspended match at the Allianz Riviera stadium “. The first of the two firm matches thus inflicted concerns neither more nor less than the return play-off of maintenance/promotion which must oppose Nice to Saint-Etienne on Friday May 29 (first leg on Tuesday 26 at Geoffroy-Guichard).
Suffice it to say that the OGCN has not made its task easy in view of this crucial deadline. Especially since Claude Puel’s men will also have to play the final of the Coupe de France, this Friday, May 22, against RC Lens. Without any respite therefore.
