Nice fans boo team during seventh straight loss, players show support for
injured teammates
NICE, France (AP) --- Nice was booed on the field a week after its players were
attacked by supporters.
The French team's crisis on and off the pitch deepened as it lost 1-0 at home
to Angers in Ligue 1 on Sunday for a seventh straight loss across all
competitions.
After last week's defeat at Lorient, Nice players were confronted by a large
number of their supporters when they returned to the club's training and
academy center.
Players and staff were reportedly assaulted and fans shouted insults and
demanded greater commitment from the squad. Jrmie Boga and Terem Moffi took
multiple blows, including to the head and groin.
Those two players were absent against Angers and their teammates took the field
with the names of either Boga or Moffi on the backs of their jerseys instead of
their own.
The jeers rang out right from the start.
Yassin Belkhdim scored for Angers in the 33rd minute and Nice's hopes of ending
its losing streak diminished early in the second half when Tom Louchet was sent
off for a foul on Jacques Ekomi.
Off the bottom Auxerre moved off the bottom of the table with a 3-1 win over Metz, which took its opponent's spot. The result ended a nine-match winless run for Auxerre. Lassine Sinayoko's penalty and a goal by Oussama El-Azzouzi three minutes later put Auxerre 2-0 ahead before Gauthier Hein halved the deficit on the stroke of halftime. But Kvin Danois scored his first Ligue 1 goal late on to secure the win. Le Havre forward Issa Soumar failed to convert a penalty as another relegation fight, against Paris FC, ended in a 0-0 draw. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
