Europa League: Lille shine, Nice sink... a wild start for French clubs 🇫🇷 | OneFootball

Two venues, two atmospheres

This Thursday evening, as part of the second day of the Europa League, OGC Nice traveled to Fenerbahçe, while LOSC went to Italy to face Roma.

The Eagles' match quickly turned sour, as the Turks opened the scoring in the third minute through Kerem Aktürkoglu.

The forward even scored a double by the 25th minute, allowing his club to break away. Although Nice got back into the game thanks to a penalty by Kevin Carlos in the 37th minute, it was not enough to catch up.

Fortunately, not all is lost for the French clubs, as at the same time Lille surprisingly opened the scoring on AS Roma's turf thanks to Hakon Haraldsson (6th). A goal that allowed the Northerners to secure a precious victory in Italy.

Lille thus perfectly reacted after their defeat against Lyon this weekend, while Nice already sees the specter of a tough season in the Europa League approaching.

As a reminder, last season the Eagles finished in the penultimate place in the C3 standings with just three points.
