Youth League: Nantes takes an option on the 16th

French U19 champion, FC Nantes is on the verge of the round of 16 of the Youth League.

After dismissing Lech Poznan in the path of champions, the Canaries dominated Helsinki this Wednesday in the second round first leg (1-0).

With nearly 12,500 spectators supporting their cause at La Beaujoire, the Nantes residents made the difference with a penalty converted by their captain Nathan Zeze (1-0).

A domestic success to be confirmed or preserved in two weeks in Finland during the return match.
