The Nice substitutes had the opportunity to show themselves despite the defeat (2-1) against the Viola.
A match that was only friendly in name. Fiorentina won in preparation against OGC Nice 2-1 this Sunday in Newcastle. Serbian striker (former Real Madrid) Luka Jovic put the Viola on the right track (17th) before Christian Kouamé doubled the lead (35th). With a revamped team, the people of Nice reacted at the very end of the match thanks to the exceptional inspiration of young Badredine Bouanani (86th), author of a powerful and unstoppable curling left foot strike.
The game was also marked by a clash between the two camps in the 75th minute. Evann Guessand (Nice) and Luca Ranieri (Fiorentina) explained themselves after the Italian defender retained the French striker.
The Gym ends an average preparation in terms of results with a defeat, the third after those against Braga (2-0) and Lausanne (3-1). Nice had recently beaten Montpellier (1-0) and conceded a draw against the Spaniards of Villarreal (1-1). The season will start at the Allianz Riviera on Friday evening for the French Riviera against LOSC at the start of the new Ligue 1 season.
