OGC Nice draws 0-0 with Hull City in final pre-season friendly
OGC Nice concluded their summer pre-season preparations with a 0-0 draw against Hull City. This fifth and final friendly match served as a fitness assessment for the French side ahead of their Ligue 1 opener against Lorient on August 22.
Despite controlling much of the game through precise passing and mobility, Nice struggled with clinical finishing. Notable attempts included a shot by Sofiane Diop and a close-range strike by Victor Orakpo just before halftime, which was saved by goalkeeper Tzolakis. The match was played with a reshuffled lineup following the absence of Laurent Abergel due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
