Bourrigaud decisive, Laborde invisible… tops and flops

Tops

Bulka, good performance but insufficient

Polish goalkeeper, Marcin Bulka, proved to be Nice’s last bulwark at the top of his game. Despite his crucial saves, including three early in the match, his brilliant performance could not prevent defeat. Although he expected Bourrigaud’s penalty, his reach was not enough to reach him.

Borregaud decisive and spectacular

The Rennes midfielder once again showed his talent. Along with a goal from the penalty spot and a fantastic display with the ball, he also lit up the match with some technical gestures. Physically overwhelmed, he had to leave his place in the 77th minute.

FLOPS

Labour: Haunted then disbanded

Julien Stephan quickly realized that Gaetan Laborde would not be the hero of the evening for OGC Nice. Aligned on the left wing in a 4-3-3 tactical pattern, the professional striker, facing his former club, found it difficult to call and was well controlled by Guella Du. In his place in the 64th minute.

Another period

As Ligue 1 reminds us time and time again, football doesn’t always guarantee a spectacular display throughout the 90 minutes. Arnaud Kalimuendo’s second goal at the start of the second half (in the 54th minute) slowed the game considerably, thus sealing the fate of the match. Nicois lost his dangerous character, showing little reaction, while Rennes was content to keep score. An approach that could have some surprises in store for them at the end of the match.
