OGC Nice has qualified for the semi-finals of the Coupe de France on Wednesday evening. The team of coach Christophe Galtier won convincingly at home from Olympique Marseille: 4-1. Star on the side of lesson Aiglons was Justin Kluivert, who took care of both the second and third goal and provided the assist for the fourth goal. It is not yet known who will be Nice’s opponent in the semi-final of the French Cup.

With the home team, a starting spot had been made for Kluivert, who was posted on the left in midfield next to Pablo Rosario. Calvin Stengs had to settle for a spot on the bench. Although Nice was the dominant party for almost the entire match, they were already behind 0-1 before the end of the third minute of play. A shot by Cengiz Ünder was initially parried by goalkeeper Marcin Bulka, but from the rebound the ball still fell into his own goal via Melvin Bard. Nice came alongside in the tenth minute.

After a through pass from Andy Delort, Amine Gouiri cut in between two defenders. Suddenly the striker came face to face with goalkeeper Pau López, who was outwitted in a cold-blooded way. After half an hour of play, the closing post had to fail to answer a bet by Kluivert. The decisive pass came again from Delort, who gave the Dutchman the opportunity to nod in freedom. Kluivert’s goal in the second half was of great beauty. He appeared on the right side of the sixteen and found the left intersection with a diagonal striker: 3-1. Kluivert was also at the basis of the 4-1, as he delivered a tailor-made cross to Delort. The latter had a viewed bow ball in the house to give Pau López the check.
