Last match before the break and third consecutive defeat for Nice against an opponent who, judging by the standings, should have been within their reach.
Moreover, Stan Sutor’s players initially gave the illusion of being able to control the game: a first goal by A. Dorey in the first period was answered by F. Sabatier in the second period.
Match settled, then? This was not counting on the Scorpions’ determination to respond: 2-1 then 2-2 before the last period.
Stung by aggressive Scorpions, the Eagles sank and conceded the third goal, synonymous with defeat, before allowing a fourth goal at the very end of the match.
