les Boxers de Bordeaux n’ont pas tenu la distance face à Nice
But what a battle to get there. A rhythm and a physical meeting which starts with a knee strike received by Fouquerel during a Nice offensive. Result, a K.-O. for the doorman of the Boxers and an exit after a little more than three minutes of play. A change which somewhat disturbs Bordeaux residents jostled by Eagles without complexes. It was without counting on the realism of the Boxers and this distant cannon shot from Boscq which opened the scoring in a happy way (1-0, 9th).
Fouquerel touched
But the main thing is there for Bordeaux residents who see cold sweats beading on their faces after a new contact from Nice with Richard, the second goalkeeper, who came into play and who remains bent in two for a long time (13th) but who can finally leave in son but. Enough to take the lead at the final gong of the first period which will have seen the Boxers respond perfectly to the physical challenge imposed by the Azureans.
The choppy match continued as soon as the game resumed, marked by numerous faults and numerous stoppages. In the end, the level of play fell sharply. A general apathy that affects both teams in a second period of unequal level. But at the edge of the last twenty minutes, the Boxers are still racing in the lead. They come out of the locker room with an immediate awakening and great pressure in front of the Nice goal.
