Ludovic Blas responded to the German defender, but the former Nantais’ cannon shot in the 11th minute was not enough.

Despite an equally open second half, there were no further goals at Roazhon Park. Thanks to this victory, ASM temporarily takes a three-point lead over PSG, which travels to Nice on Sunday.
