This Friday evening at Jean Bouin, the Nice team faced the Grenoble team for the 21st day of Ligue Magnus.
On Tuesday, the Eagles were defeated in the quarter-finals of the French Cup against Amiens. Tonight at home, they are aiming for revenge. After a monotonous first period, Grenoble broke the rhythm at 15 minutes and opened the scoring with a shot by player Flavien Dair. (0-1)
Turnaround for Nice
The start of the second period seemed to mirror the first, but that was not accounting for the determined Eagles. The Nice players asserted themselves, and Luka Kalan scored with the assistance of Radek Cip (1-1). The men of Frantisek Stolc didn’t stop there. Radek Cip gave his team a slight lead by scoring with the help of Jeesper Larinmaa and Louis Belisle (2-1).
The Grenoble players got back in the game and equalized with a goal from Aurélien Dair (2-2). This was not to the Eagles’ liking, as Yevgeni Nikiforov scored the third goal for his team at 25 minutes. The opposing team equalized, with Nicolas Deschamps scoring at 45 minutes. The two teams were tied, and the regular time expired.
At the Edge of Suspense
An unbearable suspense filled the rink and kept the supporters on edge. Five minutes of overtime were announced, with 3 players against 3 players. Jesper Larinmaa scored the final goal of the match, securing victory for the Eagles.
The next appointment for the Eagles is this Sunday once again in Amiens, kick-off at 6 PM.
