Both scorers at the BayArena on Thursday as OGC Nice returned to Europe (6-2), Amine Gouiri and Alexis Claude-Maurice netted their first European goals.

Gouiri, after Ligue 1, Europe

With the OGC Nice shirt on his shoulders, Amine Gouiri continues to break down barriers. In his first competitive match for the Rouge et Noir against Lens on August 23 2020, the former Lyon player scored a double, his first Ligue 1 goals (2-1).

A starter at the Bay Arena yesterday in the Europa League, a competition in which he' only previously managed 15 minutes of action, the young Aiglon made another major stride. Found by Nsoki in the 31st minute, he rid himself of Baumgartlinger and then finished off in style with an unstoppable shot for his first European goal.

Claude-Maurice, two firsts

On for Hicham Boudaoui in the 63rd minute as the Gym started their Europa League campaign on Thursday, Alexis Claude-Maurice enjoyed a European baptism of fire. The scorer of the game's final goal, shooting home from the middle of the Bayer 04 box, the former Lorient player, like his team-mate, mate the net billow for the first time on the European stage.
