Nantes against Reims, these are two of the finest records in French football who faced each other this Saturday as part of the 8th day of Ligue 2. Despite the desire, on both sides, the two teams parted in a scoreless draw (0-0).
With the support of the Loire Brigade, who were making their comeback at Beaujoire, the Canaries generally dominated this meeting but they did not manage to deceive the Reims goalkeeper (19 shots, 5 on target). The Champagne club thus remains undefeated, with 14 points taken in 8 matches, and remains at the top of the table in 4th place. With eight points on the clock, the FCN remains in the soft underbelly (13th), with 8 points on the clock.
Looking at the rankings, Nantes coach Grégory Poirier must have seen that his former club has temporarily seized first place, while awaiting the result of Saint-Etienne against Rodez. The Red Star won in Clermont (2-3), thanks to Ikanga (7th, 68th) and Durand (55th), against goals from Cantero (22nd) and Bianchini (90th sp).
