I was waiting for my players around the corner and I am a happy coach with what they showed against the second in the championship ”.

Silent since August 15, the Nantes attack took only five minutes to stand out with first a Girotto header from a corner and then a penalty converted by Ludovic Blas. Very quickly, Ismaël Traoré put the Angevins back in the direction of travel by reducing the score by a header from a corner (10th). “At 2-1, they can come back,” said the Nantes coach. But the success that had eluded us, we really had it ”.
Moses Simon still decisive passer
In the 23rd minute, Randal Kolo Muani, served at the penalty spot by the inevitable Simon (decisive passer on 5 of the 7 Nantes goals this season), indeed showed a lot of coolness to erase two defenders and slip the ball along the post. Author of a double, Ludovic Blas then concluded the offensive festival by cutting at the far post a millimeter center from Kolo Muani (79th). “We never doubted, we played as if we had a very good ranking and a lot of confidence. And it paid off, “said Antoine Kombouaré, also welcoming the performance of his goalkeeper Alban Lafont who” made the necessary stops “.
