“The boys let loose!” The Nice coach summed up very well a situation that seemed compromised with ten minutes to go when the Parisians thought they had secured that precious victory which moved them away from the relegation zone. However, they hadn’t counted on Nice’s sharpshooters Koné and Ederson who, with two individual feats, pierced the capital’s defense to defeat Landreau and send Paul Le Guen’s men back to the locker room with another defeat and into the relegation zone. It was a sad evening for Parisian football but a night of celebration for the eagles who found the necessary resources to first equalize and then deliver the final blow at the end of the match.
After a great victory in Marseille (0-2), the people from Nice now hold their second benchmark match, and recalling the wonderful streak that followed the victory against OM, one starts dreaming again of Europe from the red and black home, especially among the fans thrilled with this precious win in the capital.
But to reach a European qualification, they first have to overcome the Monaco hurdle at home, next Saturday, before heading to Bordeaux (26/04) then hosting Lyon (03/05), going to Valenciennes (10/05) and finishing the season at Ray against Caen (17/05). It’s a European-flavored schedule with two high-profile clashes against Lyon and Bordeaux who are contending for the title while Monaco, Caen, and Valenciennes seem able to secure their place in Ligue 1 and have long since lacked European ambitions. A good opportunity, therefore, for Nice who have proved in Paris that they are capable of casting doubt across all Ligue 1 teams.
