Nantes hooked by Saint-Étienne, Reims continues at Angers

However, the Stéphanois were not brilliant in the first period, overwhelmed by the speed of the Nantes sequences and quickly led after the goal of Johann Lepenant, opportunist in the area (10th). The former Lyonnais then turned into a brilliant passer for Sorba Thomas just after the break (49th). But that was not enough for Antoine Kombouaré’s team to win. Because ASSE took advantage of two set pieces, a quickly played corner, and a penalty obtained thanks to VAR, to equalize with a double from Ibrahim Sissoko (57th, 68th). This result doesn’t do anyone’s business in the rankings.
