The Europa League continues on its way. The thirty-six teams are on deck this week for the seventh day of the regular phase. OGC Nice, one of the two representatives of French football in the competition, traveled to Sweden to challenge IF Elfsborg. At the end of a disappointing first half, the two teams neutralized each other (0-0).
Nice did not find the solution
OGC Nice, which had a disappointing start to the match, was close to conceding the opener in the first minutes of the match. Sofiane Diop, captain of the Riviera club, stupidly concedes a corner (3rd). He is perfectly hit by Zeneli Qasem who imposes himself in the air, retreating. Fortunately for the Aiglons, his header is off target (4th). Seven minutes later, the current fifth in the Swedish championship took advantage of the spaces behind La Défense Nice. But Oscar Hiljemark’s men lacked technical accuracy in the last move (11th, 12th).
Nice’s response arrived fifteen minutes from the end of regulation time in the first act. Well found in the area by Diop at the start of each Nice action, Moukoko manages to turn around and continue with his left foot. But his unbalanced attempt goes clearly wide (29th). Six minutes later, Louchet was found in the opponent’s penalty area and took a shot at the near post but Pettersson quickly lay down to his left to catch the ball (36th). Behind, nothing more will happen and the break was whistled after a minute of added time (45’+1).
