The Canaries suffered the law of Strasbourg this Saturday at Beaujoire (1-3), as part of the 26th round of Ligue 1.
The FCN is at its worst. By recording this Saturday their 15e defeat of the season in Ligue 1 – the third in a row, the Nantes residents hit rock bottom at Beaujoire, now entangled in the red zone and more than ever at the mercy of the competition.
Today’s disaster is all the more painful for the Canaries as they conceded to a direct rival – Strasbourg – who had not won a single match in the league since December 20. An RCSA now 12e of the elite with 29 units on the clock, four more than Nantes, 16e.
Balaclavas at the edge of the pitch
This day in their lair, Gourvennec’s men complicated their task by faltering from the 3e minute on a fox goal from Gameiro’s surfaces. Cömert may well have responded before the break (1-1, 36e), Emegha turned into the executioner of the yellows by scoring a double (1-2, 62e then 1-3, 78e), not without two offerings signed Bakwa.
Played in an explosive atmosphere, the end of the match did not give rise to the expected revolt from the people of Nantes. “ It’s a lot of disappointment, all matches are important now but tonight’s was even more important against a direct competitor for maintenancesaid Sissoko, hotly on the Prime Video antenna, while the pitch was surrounded by hooded and vindictive supporters. We understand the public’s disappointment, the frustration, in the content it’s not too bad but it’s the results that take precedence… There are still quite a few points to take. »
