FC Nantes won in Strasbourg this Friday evening, opening the 8th day of Ligue 1 (2-1).
Respectively tamed by Lens and Rennes a week ago, Strasbourg and Nantes found themselves with the objective of starting a new dynamic of victories, this Friday evening. An interesting poster between two strongholds of French football in full transition. If successful, the Alsatian club had the opportunity to temporarily move back into the top 5. Otherwise, the Canaries could make a small jump into the first half of the table. And in this little game, it is ultimately the people of Nantes who have the last word.
Nantes didn’t really shake
More effective on both surfaces, Pierre Aristouy’s men took the upper hand quite logically, by offering content superior to that of their opponent in all areas of the game. Everything was decided at the start of the second half in this match.
The light came from Coco, well placed to take a deflected cross from Delaine (0-1, 51st). An opening score which did not generate Strasbourg. On the contrary, the Canaries doubled the lead straight away to seal their victory, with a great strike from Moutoussamy (0-2, 58th). The reduction in Dion’s score in stoppage time will remain anecdotal (1-2, 90th+2). Strasbourg is at a standstill. Nantes resumes its march forward.
