At the Bauer stadium in Saint-Ouen, it took 21 minutes for FC Nantes, in a Ligue 1 configuration (the only small surprises, the starts of Guirassy and Ganago), to open the score against the Drance fans. Abline, well served by Chirivella, deceiving Derkaoui with a right outside. After a scare born from a beautiful header from Kadded pushed back at the last minute by Carlgren (22e), the former Carquefolien (3 goals in the league) did it again twelve minutes later after a relay with Douglas Augusto (33e), which should have unlocked the scoreboard from the 10e.
At 2-0 at the break, the game was over. Following three clear chances (Guirassy twice and Abline again, 60e), Zézé, on a corner from Chirivella, rose higher than everyone and added to the score with a furious header (63e). His first goal with the winning team. Mohamed, header (75e), missed the inevitable before catching up with a good cross from Amian (81e) where the Egyptian just had to push the ball into the back of the net (4-0). Contract therefore fulfilled in the face of a team playing, let us remember, four divisions below.
The Yellows, who will resume training on Monday December 30 with Antoine Kombouaré at the helm, now have an appointment on Saturday January 4, 2025 in the championship in Lille (7 p.m.). Hot, hot…
As for their future opponent in the Coupe de France (16e scheduled for January 15), they will be set this Sunday evening. A little more patience.
