10 March 2023 – bySaid@Bladi · 1 min read

Last night, OGC Nice traveled to the pitch of Sheriff Tiraspol in the first leg of the Europa Conference League round of 16. Despite a difficult game, the Eagles managed to win 1-0, thanks in particular to an impressive performance by the young Moroccan player Ayoub Amraoui.

Surprisingly starting for this match, the 18-year-old left-back scored his first professional goal in spectacular fashion at the end of the first half. Served by Khephren Thuram, he sent a superb shot into the goal of Maksym Koval, surprising the goalkeeper who could do nothing to stop the shot.

A regular player of Nice’s B team in Nationale 3, Amraoui was able to seize his chance in his third professional match with the first team. Moroccan under-21 international with one cap, he thus put his team on the right track before the start of the second half.

This victory is a good start for OGC Nice in this competition, which hopes to go as far as possible. The return leg will be played in a week in Nice, where the Eagles will be eager to confirm their advantage.

AmraOUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII !
