The Frantisek Stolc gang is back in the Coupe de France, and they were traveling to Occitanie to face the Vipers.
After a decisive victory against Dijon last month (0-8), the Eagles were the favorites to face a team ranked fifth in Division 2. Even though Nice is in ninth place in the Magnus League, their Coupe journey leaves no doubt about their true level.
A player on fire
In the first period, Montpellier caused a surprise by leading with two goals, before being caught up under the leadership of a simply unstoppable Kuronen Mikael. This fighting Nice team didn’t just settle for equalizing; they took the lead in the second period, coming back to 2-3 before extending the gap in the final round. The Finnish forward recorded three goals to his name and the Eagles continue their great adventure. Final score: 2-5.
The team from Nice can be found back at home this Friday against Cergy-Pontoise in the league.
