The new Italian coach of Nice, Francesco Farioli pouts. In front of 29,400 spectators at the Allianz Riviera who were preparing to celebrate a first victory, Nice were joined in added time by Lille (1-1) in a duel of contenders for the Top 5 at the end of the season.
It was Gaëtan Laborde who had the honor of scoring the first goal of this new L1 season. After a ball recovered by Khéphren Thuram, Moffi launched in depth, serves Laborde who perfectly stings his ball against Chevalier (1-0, 18th). He scored the 73rd goal of his career in L1.
For his part, Marcin Bułka showed why the Nice staff had chosen to install him as a starter this season at the expense of Kasper Schmeichel, not on the score sheet and on the start. The 23-year-old Polish goalkeeper, passed by Chelsea and PSG, multiplied the rescues, in particular a double save on attempts by Jonathan David then Alan Virgnius (22nd), Rémy Cabella (41st) or David (69th). The Canadian striker from Lille, whose future has not yet been clarified, did not always seem very concerned. On the Nice side, Morgan Sanson (ex-Strasbourg) achieved a great first, ending the meeting with the most kilometers covered (12.5).
If after having put a lot of intensity in the first period, Nice logically dropped off physically and almost stopped playing, it was long believed that Lille was not going to be able to take advantage of it. But on a free kick from Gomes, Bafodé Diakité snatched the draw with a header (1-1, 90th + 4). Nice can be blamed.
“We had done the most difficult by opening the score. We had to kill the game. It’s a shame to take this goal after so much effort. When you run after the ball so much, it’s hard, ”regrets Nice captain Dante at the microphone of Prime Video. For his part, Benjamin André, Losc midfielder, does not boast but salutes the state of mind of his team: “We did not have the match we wanted, technically, we made a lot of mistakes and Nice took advantage of it. But we have the merit of coming back, it shows that we have character”.
During the next day, Sunday August 20, Lille will receive Nantes while Nice, in search of redemption, will challenge Lorient.
