FC Nantes is in great difficulty at half-time this 16th final of the Coupe de Franceled 2-0 by a realistic and dominating Stade Brestois. Despite some intentions at the start of the match, the Canaries quickly gave in to the technical accuracy and efficiency of Éric Roy’s men at the Francis-Le Blé stadium.
An inspired Sima opens the scoring
The turning point of this first period came at the 24ᵉ minutewhen Abdallah Sima signed a high-class individual feat. Served in depth by Brendan Chardonnet, the Brest striker controlled the ball with finesse in his run before playing Nicolas Pallois with a devastating hook in the area. With a clear shot, he adjusted Carlgren to open the scoring and give the Ti-Zefs the advantage on their first real opportunity.
Chardonnet hits the nail on the head on a corner
The people of Nantes, already under pressure, saw their hopes darken further at the 34ᵉ minute. On a corner perfectly taken by Romain Del Castillothe Brest captain Brendan Chardonnet got the better of his opposite number, Jean-Charles Castelletto, to place a powerful and unstoppable header.
Canaries too messy
The start of the match had, however, hinted at interesting intentions on the Nantes side. Pedro Chirivella tried to distribute the game, but several approximations, such as a poorly adjusted pass from the 8ᵉ minuteprevented the Canaries from taking advantage of the spaces left by Brest. Mathis Abline and Moses Simon, often isolated, failed to weigh on the Brest defense.
A rare clearing could have come from the 4ᵉ minutewhen Mathis Abline managed to escape on the right side. But the attacker’s back cross was perfectly intercepted by a saving tackle from Chardonnetalready imperial in defense.
Kelvin Amian at the microphone of BeIn Sport: “We started the match well. Then we conceded this goal, which was perhaps offside. After this first goal, we gave up. We have to get back into it. At the start of the second half, we will have to do much better. »
