Nice coach Favre critcises Balotelli

While Balotelli was arguing with match officials on the touchline, Napoli scored the opening goal in the 2-0 victory, three minutes into the second half.

The argument was over a bandage covering up a bracelet, which is banned under the laws of the game. During Balotelli's argument with the match officials, Callejon was left unmarked at the far post and scored. 

Nice coach Lucien Favre reacted furiously to the goal, while his striker continued his discussions with the officials. "I don't want to comment on Balotelli. It wasn't very satisfactory, it was not good enough", the Nice boss said. 

After Nice's defeat, they will go into the Europa League group stage, whilst Napoli advance to Champions League group stage.
