Ligue 1: Nantes wins after added time against Le Havre

The great operation of Nantes. Thanks to Bamba in added time (90 3rd), Nantes secured a victory against Le Havre (0-1) this Sunday for the 29th day of Ligue 1.

These three points offer a breath of fresh air to the Canaries who are only 14th (31 pts) but with three lengths ahead of their hosts of the day (15th) and especially five over the virtual barrage, Lorient (16th), whose match against Paris SG has been postponed to April 24. The epilogue is cruel for the Normans and not really deserved for the Yellows, while the match had been as balanced during the distressing first 70 minutes as during the disjointed but feverish last 20 minutes.

Nantes had lit the first really significant fuse with a slightly too uncrossed ball from Matthis Abline, who had only found the outside net (69th), while Arthur Desmas had repelled Abline's strikes in the first period ( 20th), already and Florent Mollet (35th). In added time, Desmas had again saved his team from an attempt by Douglas Augusto at the start of added time (90 1), before Kader Bamba, who entered the game three minutes earlier, crucified the oldest club with a low strike. flush with the post (0-1, 90 2).

With this goal, the Normans once again paid dearly for their lack of realism. Before that, André Ayew could have given them the advantage, in the 78th, on a ball received in the central circle. He approached unopposed to the edge of the area where he hooked Nicolas Pallois, then Pedro Chirivella before curling a shot that Alban Lafont was happy to see brush the outside of the post.

And what about the action in the 89th minute when Samuel Grandsir infiltrated the right side before crossing for Mohamed Bayo whom Pallois, with all the freshness of his 37 years, came to counter four meters from the empty goals. A gesture which is worth almost half of the three points gleaned on Sunday.
