It’s a break in Beaujolais! No goals after an intense 45 minutes between Nantes and Lens (0-0). Samba made three big saves from Kadeware, Mohamed and an inadvertent header in his goal before Pereira da Costa opened the rivalry with a firecracker over Lafont’s bar. What a match from the Lensois goalkeeper!
What a save from Samba that allows his team to stay afloat! Corner from Mollet for Aguilar’s head in his goal! Samba makes a huge reflex save on his line and Pelois is too young to resume!
Control oriented in the deep by Mohamed who looks to leave Danzo behind but the Austrian sends the ball over for a corner!
Spotted deep, Moussa Sissoko opts to subtly feed into the area to Mohamed who picks up a powerful volley from mid-height! Samba Rises Again!
Fighting Frankovski, DuVernay falls to the ground following the duel and needs time to get up!
Great ball from Chirivela for Kadevere who will play his one on one with Aguilar. He suddenly likes to roll up but Samba pushes back!
With “Who doesn’t jump…”, the Nantes supporters enlivened the atmosphere at La Beaujoire. They think their canaries are doing better!
Denso loses the ball in his camp and Mohamed tries to get ahead of him before the Austrian unleashes his power with a big shoulder kick.
Nantes counter-attack with Kadere before attempting a deep pass to Mohamed! The Egyptian makes a mistake, Kadeware complains and takes a yellow!
It is a few rough contacts that the players make between themselves within the limits of correction.
Stopped, Chavez gets to the penalty spot for Sotoka’s powerful header that goes wide!
Tino Cadavere was thinking of opening a soccer! Sissoko tries to find Kadeware deep but is blocked before Chirivela can continue the action with his head… Kadeware presents him to Samba and tricks him with a powerful strike.
The goal is disallowed for an offside that is hard to observe!
Andy Diouf takes a free kick almost at the corner post but Sotoka’s header goes into Lafont’s goal.
What a mess on the part of the twice speeding Palois who pulls the jersey and stops him. No yellow card, it’s very surprising.
A very good free kick to follow for a well-taken lens by Diouf. Pereira da Costa shoots it with his inside leg but it’s straight at Lafont!
Calvin Amien remains on the ground after his duel with Sotoka, appearing to be muscular. He will replace him with Nicolas Pelois.
An impressive overflow of Cheves who love to cross hard but no one cuts a path! Frankovski recovers and hits the goal hard! Lafont pushes back with difficulty.
In the first minutes of this meeting, Lens leaves almost nothing for Nantes and wants to score very quickly!
David Pereira da Costa is on fire down the left and passes everything quickly! His left-footed center is returned by the Nantes defence!
But what a shot from Pereira da Costa who sent a powerful strike from 30 metres! He takes the crossbar!
Lens have returned 6 clean sheets away from home in Ligue 1 this season, only Inter (7) and Rayo Vallecano (7) in the European top 5 have more. Racing have thus kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 trips to the elite, failing only in a 2-0 defeat at Nice on 20 December.
We continue this 20th day of Ligue 1 with Nantes Lens! With a lot at stake from Sang et al, the match could return level with Lille, who are 5th in the rankings and Nantes will be looking to reassure themselves of keeping their position.
Nantes have lost their last 2 Ligue 1 matches against Lens (1-3 in February 2023 and 0-4 in October, each time at Bolarte-Delais), but have never experienced 3 consecutive defeats against this opponent in the Elite.
