This is ultimately the image that will remain of his first at La Beaujoire in the Nantes jersey. Following a corner from Lamine Camara, Anthony Lopes went completely through and Mohammed Salisu did not ask for much to equalize in the empty goal. An error which is costly for FC Nantes, temporarily fourteenth in Ligue 1, but tied on points with the play-off Saint-Etienne (a goal difference of -7 against -20 for the Greens), in the fight for maintenance.
However, before this 59th minute, the Portuguese international goalkeeper had looked good in the Nantes goal. In the first half hour (24th), the former Lyonnais distinguished himself by pulling out a long-range attempt from Lamine Camara. Then after the reduction of the score of Breel Embolo (52nd), Anthony Lopes, who could not do anything about this action, defeated Eliesse Ben Seghir with a beautiful tap four minutes before his blunder.
“The second goal is avoidable, but that’s how it is.”
“We had a solid match. But we leave with a little frustration given the scenarioregretted Johan Lepenant at the microphone of DAZN after the final whistle. There is frustration, because there are these two avoidable goals that arrive in seven minutes. This takes two points away from us. Two important points.”
-“It’s true that we have regretscorroborated Matthis Abline with DAZN. The atmosphere was a little heavy in the locker room. We conceded two goals too close to each other. We’ll have to work on that and be even more efficient in both areas… The second goal is avoidable but that’s how it is.”
The successor to Alban Lafont, author of an encouraging first in Lille last Saturday, will have to quickly follow up on Wednesday in Brest in the Coupe de France and in a week at Geoffroy-Guichard who will probably give him a hostile reception. But Anthony Lopes will be keen to provide his response on the ground.
