Winner on the Beaujoire lawn, the SCO gives itself air at the bottom of the ranking, unlike the Canaries.
The big blow of the Angevins. Angers did an excellent operation in the race for maintenance by winning in Nantes (0-1) Sunday, during the 32nd day of Ligue 1. With 33 points, the Angevins take 14th place in Nantes (32 pts) and have 6 lengths ahead of Saint-Etienne, 17th and first relegation, which, moreover, has a much more negative goal of goals (-39).
Angers is also 5 points ahead and a fairly clearly favorable goal difference on Le Havre, a virtual barragist, who has one less match. The final whistle was also celebrated almost as a victory in the cup final by the visitors’ bench. In a match between two of the three teams with the weakest possession of the championship, we could fear the worst in terms of play.
-The harmless canaries or almost
And the “Nantes, Nantes, move the c.. ” or the “We do ourselves ch …, we get used to …“, Which came down from the Loire gallery throughout the second period, confirm that there was once again a great show at Beaujoire, however garnished with 34,556 spectators. Apart from an eccentric free kick returning from Moses Simon who came to die on the post, Nantes still displayed his great difficulty in being dangerous other than against. A predictable scenario which undoubtedly helped the SCO to get stuck gradually, despite the injury, even before the 20th minute, by Zinedine Ferhat, who was added to the half-dozen indisputable or potential holders before the kick-off.
The lack of confidence of visitors was still manifest when Himad Abdelli (37th) and Lilian Raolisoa (45th), in good position, completely missed their strikes and the frame. But it was paradoxically Jim Alvinah, the player who had struck the most without ever scoring this season in Ligue 1, who released the SCO on his 36th attempt, at the conclusion of a beautiful collective movement (0-1, 52nd). In the cages, Yahia Fofana, one of the rare satisfactions of the season at the SCO, then did the work by pushing nicely from the attempts of Pedro Chirivella (60th) or Nicolas Cozza (67th) to preserve this invaluable advantage.
On the Nantes side, with a trip to Auxerre and especially the reception for the last day of Montpellier, already relegated, it is certainly estimated that there is not yet fire. But the banner “Direction, coach, players: How long will you still please yourself in mediocrity?“, Deployed twice during the match, asks a legitimate question.
