After a home defeat this Friday, the Eagles hoped to return to winning ways for the derby against Marseille. The two teams had faced each other at the beginning of the season. Nice had won (3-2). This time, Marseille wins (0-4).
The Eagles suffered their fifth consecutive defeat. They welcomed a new goalkeeper, Conrad Molder, this evening. During the start of the first period, the tension between the two rivals is palpable. The men of Frantisek Stolc take advantage of a power play that they will not capitalize on. It is the Marseille player David Aslin who finds the opening and scores in the fifteenth minute (0-1). The Spartans gain confidence and continue their momentum at the 17th minute through Nicolas Ruel (0-2).
The Niçois take the hit
The Marseillais continue in the same dynamic and take a considerable lead with the goal by Jan Dufek (0-3). The Niçois are struggling and receive a penalty. The match continues at 4 against 5. A fight breaks out on the ice, leaving Nice with two players down and one from Marseille.
The last period mirrors the previous ones; the Eagles cannot find an opening. David Aslin scores the fourth and final goal of the match five minutes before the end of the game.
The next meeting for the Eagles is on Tuesday in Anglet (8:30 PM).
