Nice is among the teams with the best momentum in the French league, but tonight (Friday) they were quite disappointed when they drew 1:1 at home with Auxerre, which is only one point away from the place from which they are relegated to the second division. However, the Eagles can be pleased with the fact that their unbeaten league run has been extended to nine.
In the 34th minute, Nice lost one of its most prominent players, Soufian Diop, and two minutes later, Auxer’s goal came. Matthias Abelin was sent down the right wing, shook off Dante and crossed for Gauthier Haye who scored his second goal of the season from close range.
Three minutes before the break, Nice had a chance to equalize when Akim Zadaka pulled on the shirt of Kafran Toram in the box, but Gatent Laborde took a bad kick and Junot Radu saved. However, a minute into the added time of the first half, the striker made up for missing the penalty with a Van Persie style goal with a high shot from the right and established a distribution of points.
In the Spanish league, Real Sociedad disappointed once again with a 0:0 home draw against Cadiz. The Basques have not won in the last three games and have not scored in the last two and it is possible that they will finish this cycle in fourth place.
