nice he extended the good streak that led him to win against Sheriff (3-1) and the quarterfinals of a European competition twenty-three years later, in the Conference League.
Didier Digard’s team, replaced on this occasion by Julien Sable, have not been among the top eight in a continental tournament since the 1959-60 season.
Nice managed to progress, adding to their twelfth Allianz Riviera match unbeaten in all competitions. They faced the second leg clash of the round of 16 with a certain calmness after defeating the Moldovan representative 0-1 in the first leg.
Nice cleared the air and stopped Sheriff on the half-hour mark with a goal by Gaetan Laborde from a pass by Kephren Thuram. The rest came in the second part. In the 53rd minute, Nigerian Terem Moffi extended France’s advantage by heading a cross from Dutch Pablo Rosario into the net.
Abdoul Tapsoba from Burkinabe closed the gap. He scored the visitors’ only goal but with ten to spare, Algerian Bilal Brahimi capitalized on a pass from Moffi to round off the Nicen team’s classification in the European quarterfinals.
