The Eagles of Nice are struggling. At home, against the Bordeaux Boxers, the team from Nice suffered a heavy defeat (1-7).
For this seventh day of the Ligue Magnus, the Eagles of Nice needed to react after a series of five consecutive defeats. But at the Jean Bouin ice rink, Frantisek Stolc’s men quickly became disillusioned. In just three minutes, the Bordelais scored twice: first through Tom Guidoux, then by the Finnish player Samuel Salonen. The game started very poorly for the Nice team. The coach decided to replace his goalkeeper, Raphaël Garnier. Nice tried to respond with more aggressive play but was punished a few minutes later. The French international Kevin Dusseau extended the lead (0-3).
Nice was staggered, and at the return from the locker room, Rudolfs Polcs effectively ended any suspense. Trailing 0-4, there was little hope left. Although Hugo Proux managed to reduce the deficit, Bordeaux quickly regained their four-goal lead with a brace from Rudolfs Polcs. The Nice team was overwhelmed, and Bordeaux scored two additional goals, thanks to Kévin Spinozzi and Kaylian Leborgne.
Nice left the match heavily affected (1-7) and will need to recover by Sunday against Rouen, a game that promises to be very challenging given the current form of the Eagles. Kick-off is at 5:30 PM.
