This first period, however, got off to a bad start for Nantes. After only a few minutes of play, Greenwood already heats the gloves Lafont with a cross shot which, however, does not surprise the Nantes goalkeeper.
It was in the 24th minute that the Olympians made the difference. On an offensive on the left side, Maupay comes to cut a center where Spherical watch the ball pass and Castelletto is not present. L’ABOUT logically opens the score, concretizing a first half hour of great domination (0-1, 24′).
However, it seems that the players of By Zerbi suffer from the syndrome FC Nantes. After their goal, the Marseillais relaxed, and the Canaries took the opportunity to quickly move forward. Little boy failed to open the score for the first time, but a few minutes later, Coco provides a magnificent center for Little boywhich arrives launched and without the slightest marking. Cross strike deceives Roll and allows Nantes to equalize before the break (1-1, 39′).
A score which does not necessarily reflect the appearance of the first period. The Nantes residents are dominated and play all their offensive phases on counterattacks. We will need more intensity and control in ball exits to hope to create more chances.
Marcus Coco: “We must continue to insist, even in difficult times. »
“I think it was a goal where we managed to break free. Thomas manages to throw me into the corridor and I manage to put in this cross which ends well. In the second half, we have to continue. We are playing against a big team from Marseille who are second. We must continue to insist, even in difficult times. »
