The Canaries ended their spiral of defeats by overthrowing Stade Brestois (4-1). Despite Finistère’s opener against the run of play (18th), Nantes had the strength of character to turn the tide in 2 minutes (Simon on penalty 35th, Ganago 36th) before taking off in the second half.
Thanks to this result, Nantes come out of the relegation zone and move up to 14th place. Place for confirmation on Sunday in Nice (5:05 p.m.), which only has a 2-point lead in the standings over Antoine Kombouaré’s men.
If the latter has certainly won the right to take a seat on the Nantes bench for one more week, the future is dark for Mathieu Ricoul. The Nantes coach could not prevent the 5th loss in 5 days of his players against Issy (0-2). They find themselves alone last in their 2nd division group.
