Winner in Montpellier (1-3), thanks to Abline, Simon and Mohamed, FC Nantes has provisionally moved to the top of Ligue 1, while waiting for Toulouse-Marseille.
At the end of this transfer window, seeing that he was going to keep more players than expected (Zézé, Chirivella, Douglas Augusto, Mohamed…), Antoine Kombouaré said on Thursday that FC Nantes had reason to hope for better than in previous seasons, and these hard-won maintenances. The road is still long, of course, but this Saturday evening, at around 9pm, the Yellow and Greens occupy the first place in Ligue 1.
It will only last a few hours, but it is at least proof that the Canaries have taken advantage of a favorable calendar to start their season well. After a draw in Toulouse (1-1), and after having put an end to its terrible series of defeats at the Beaujoire by painfully beating Auxerre (2-0), the FCN went to win on the ground of a Montpellier team in bad shape, as suggested by this 6-0 conceded at the Parc des Princes last weekend.
Abline, Simon and Mohamed scorers
At the start of the season, Kombouaré’s choices are bearing fruit, with the Abline-Kadewere duo at work on the first goal with a pass from the former Lyon player for a goal from the former Rennes player (24th). After Akor Adams equalised (30th), Nantes regained the advantage with a lucky penalty converted by Moses Simon (45th+7).
In a bad evening, marked by the exits of three players due to injury (Sylla, Chotard and Coulibaly), the MHSC did not know how to react. And Mostafa Mohamed, who is therefore still from Nantes, put the nail in the coffin at the end of the match (85th). The month of August is definitely ending well for the Nantes team.
