Ghanaian Pair Power Nice Into French Cup Final After Strasbourg Win

OGC Nice booked their place in the French Cup final on Wednesday night, with Ghana internationals Abdul Salis Samed and Kojo Oppong Peprah playing key roles in a composed 2-0 victory over Racing Strasbourg.

The semi-final clash at Stade de la Meinau saw both players named in the starting lineup, with Samed anchoring midfield and Oppong Peprah contributing at the back. The duo completed the full match, helping their side maintain structure and discipline throughout the contest.

After a tightly contested first half, the breakthrough arrived just after the restart when Elye Wahi finished off a well-worked move in the 51st minute, assisted by Jonathan Clauss.

Nice continued to manage the game effectively before Wahi struck again late on, calmly converting from the penalty spot in the 82nd minute to seal progression.

The result sets up a final showdown against RC Lens, with Nice now within reach of silverware. Despite the challenge ahead, the contributions of the Ghanaian pair in the semi-final underline their growing influence as the club eyes a strong finish to the campaign.
