The Eagles had to win both home matches this weekend, and they did just that.
While the first win against Brianรงon was clearly secured, Sunday night’s game was anything but easy! It was only in the shootout that the Nice team managed to win.
The lightning-fast opening goal by Dante Salituro, just 93 seconds after kickoff, says a lot about the spectacle witnessed this afternoon at Jean Bouin.
The Canadian player scored a second goal thirty minutes later, once the Raptors had leveled the score. However, he wasn’t the only player with a brace, as Nice’s Ondrej Kopta responded with two goals in five minutes.
Ivan Esipov equalized four minutes later, taking the two teams into overtime!
With overtime goalless, the outcome was decided in a shootout, where Nice players Jesse Pelamo, Ondrej Kopta, and Danick Crรชte were decisive.
