Zapping Foot National At 93, the film
A surprise at La Beaujoire halfway through. FC Nantes currently hosts AS Monaco in the opening match of the 17th day of Ligue 1. A meeting which sees the locals lead by the smallest of margins against the third in the championship after the first 45 minutes of play .
Abline, and the light was
The two teams will not go through the usual observation round. After a long Monegasque possession, FC Nantes will begin to lay siege to the opponent’s last meters. In the ninth minute of play, Kelvin Amian will put a good free kick into the box. Moses Simon takes over at the near post before crossing. This is returned by Wilfried Singo. The next one will be good for the locals. Douglas Augusto lets a cross slip between his legs. Matthis Abline is positioned where it should and finishes the job with one touch. Enough to make Beaujoire explode. AS Monaco is no longer there at all and will come very close to conceding the break goal twice.
A first time by Matthis Abline in the 21st minute of play after a poorly repelled ball by Thilo Kehrer… then a second time by the same Abline. This time, the former Rennais managed to regain the lead in the middle of four opponents. It’s too crossed! The Principality club will try, timidly, to react in the 35th minute of play. Kassoum Ouattara crosses hard at the near post for Breel Embolo who emerges. It’s right next door. Antoine Kombouaré’s men will continue to cause problems for the Rocher club as half-time approaches, without however managing to gain a slightly more comfortable lead. Everything still remains to be done between Canaries and Asemites.
To summarize
A surprise at La Beaujoire halfway through. FC Nantes currently hosts AS Monaco in the opening match of the 17th day of Ligue 1. A meeting which sees the locals lead by the smallest of margins against the third in the championship.
