Superiority for 90 minutes
The first half saw the Nancy team dominate the proceedings, fully justifying their 1-0 lead at the break. From the first minutes, ASNL showed marked intensity, imposing its pace putting Manceaux under pressure in all areas of the pitch. Thanks to a compact team unit, remarkable tactical discipline, master at recovering the ball, ASNL puts itself in the best conditions to quickly project itself towards the opposing goal.
Benjamin Gomel's goal (17') is proof of this: a high recovery puts Sidibé into orbit, who takes care of the offering for Nancy's first scorer. An advantage logically acquired during the break. ASNL will keep this hold in the second half. Physically superior, ASNL will drive home the point through Bouriaud, whose uncrossed header crucifies the Le Mans goalkeeper for the 0-2 (49').
The Nancy machine launched, Le Mans can only see the damage once again: Carlier's curling shot cleans Kocik's top corner, 0-3 (58'). What follows, sees a Nancy team manage its business with always the desire to move forward and with the firm intention of further establishing its superiority. A state of mind rewarded by Sidi Cissé (90+2) who is responsible for closing the Nancy demonstration, 0-4.
