Author of a magnificent and victorious goal against Stade Rennais, Sunday at Beaujoire (1-0), the Nigerian Moses Simon (29 years old) punished the great rival of FC Nantes in another way…
Already in the hearts of FC Nantes supporters, Moses Simon opened a new chapter in his beautiful love story with them by offering them the derby against Stade Rennais (1-0). It was on a blow, which only the 29-year-old Nigerian is capable of producing, that the Beaujoire capsized on Sunday evening.
“It turned into an exploit”
Starting from his left side, along the line, the Super Eagle began by provoking Lorenz Assignon with the ball before releasing a lightning acceleration between the Rennes defender and his teammate Andrés Gomez, followed by a hook on Azor Matusiwa to s opening a striking angle and an opposite skylight found with disconcerting ease.
“When you're in tough conditions, you can score on a set piece or on an individual feat, that of Matthis Abline (in Paris) or Simon in a form like this,” enjoyed Antoine Kombouaré. He had the physical resource at this moment of the match to pass like a dragster and the lucidity to put the ball deep. It turned into an achievement. »

“I know I’m going to do this, maybe once or twice,” said the shy Simon after the meeting. The first one I tried, it didn't work, but I said to myself: keep it up. And on the second one, I went and said, OK, it's good. My head was hot. It was incredible. »
What may seem even more incredible is that this same Simon made no less than 11 crosses alone… compared to 12 for the entire Stade Rennais! Suffice to say that, for his first derby, Jorge Sampaoli was served…
