OGC Nice could not do better than a draw against Twente (2-2), on the pitch of the Allianz Riviera, this Thursday, October 7, for the 4e day of the Europa League. The Aiglons sought their first victory in the new formula of the European competition, but must be content with sharing the points. An operation which does not suit Franck Haise's players in the standings, with the Aiglons climbing back painfully to 31st position, while other matches remain to be played.
A suspenseful end to the match
However, the scenario was almost worse for the Niçois, who quickly led in this meeting, from the 8th minute of play (0-1). The Dutch players continued in the second half, with a goal which made us imagine the KO of OGC Nice (0-2, 60'). Jérémie Boga reignited the hope of an individual exploit (1-2, 66'), which was quickly extinguished by the expulsion of Sofiane Diop (70').
But a goal from Mohamed Ali Cho (2-2, 88') close to added time and another red card from Twente (90') offered a completely crazy end to the match, which ultimately did not allow the Niçois to unlock their victory counter. From now on, we will almost have to go flawless for the last four matches of the league phase.
