Incredible scene last night at the Michel d’Ornano stadium where OGC Nice won 2-1.
Dominated throughout the first half by a charming Caen team, the Nice team made a comeback in the second half and ended up winning thanks to a double from Alexandre Mendy. His second goal even sealed Caen’s fate in the 93rd minute, a cruel blow for the Normans.
In addition to their striker, the “Aiglons” can thank the young goalkeeper Cardinale, who had an outstanding match and was decisive many times against Delort or Feret. Claude Puel’s men also benefited from a stroke of luck with a valid goal disallowed for Caen a few minutes before the end of the match.
The only goal for Caen was scored by Andy Delort, who was unstoppable throughout the match but unfortunately clumsy in front of Cardinale in the 70th minute. On the Nice side, it is worth noting the return from injury of Romain Genevois, who started on the right side. Paulin Puel, on the other hand, made his first match as a starter with the professionals.
