A week after blowing up ASSE at home (5-0), Jorge Sampaoli's Stade Rennais arrived at FC Nantes with the firm intention of starting a series. Facing them, Antoine Kombouaré's men, who were coming off a particularly encouraging draw against Paris Saint-Germain, hoped to please their public by leaving the relegation zone.
Nantes takes advantage of it!
And after 90 minutes of a show that was sometimes too average, it was the Canaries who pulled off the big blow. Just before the break, the score was still 0-0 but the situation completely changed with the expulsion of Mikayil Faye in added time (45+4th). Reduced to 10, the Rennais would move back by operating on the counter during the second half. Neither team managed to make the difference until the start of added time. The moment chosen by Moses Simon to perform a genius number and send a magnificent strike into the small net of a helpless Steve Mandanda (90th, 1-0). In the process, Wooh thought of equalizing from a corner, but the goal was ultimately refused for a handball. Enough to drive Jorge Sampaoli mad with rage, expelled. At the end of the suspense, and with numerical superiority, Nantes finally won 1-0 and moved up to 14th place tied with Rennes, 13th. At the same time, Strasbourg and Reims also conceded a 0-0 draw.
