The game

In the first half, despite the balanced possession of the ball between the teams, Nice had more opportunities to take the lead. However, the hosts, who had ten submissions in the first stage, against only one by Reims, failed in their aim, keeping the scoreboard unchanged.

Already in the second half, Reims started to offer greater danger to Nice. In the 8th minute, Jean-Clair Todibo brought down Folarin Balogun in the area and the referee signaled a penalty. In the kick, the visiting team striker kicked at half height and goalkeeper Schmeichel defended. In the 34th minute, Van Bergen received it in the small area, but headed it out, decreeing the draw at Allianz Riviera.
