Nîmes was scared in the first period against Nancy the last, but the Crocos won thanks to Moussa Koné, author of his third double of the season, and especially thanks to his goalkeeper Lucas Dias author of 8 parades. The goalkeeper trained at the club finally has his first victory in 17 matches played in all competitions (Ligue 1, Ligue 2, Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue). Nicolas Usaï in the post-match press conference was rave about the 2 players, especially the Senegalese striker from NO: “Moussa Koné for about a month has been playing full matches on the athletic level, he makes a lot of effort. He is able to win, to wedge balls, to put himself at the service of the collective, to defend well and automatically he is rewarded In football, there are attitudes to have and Moussa Koné has them very well at the moment. I am not surprised that he scores goals when he is in this kind of disposition, he remains a scorer. It is deserved compared to the efforts he makes! To receive, you have to know how to give, he gives a lot and he receives automatically.”
Two matches still to be played to close this season, second consecutive trip for the next match, in Toulouse
Against the very likely future champion of Ligue 2, the Nîmes will have a priori a complicated match to play at the Stadium. Nîmes has gained a place in the standings and finds itself 8th. The objective is to finish as high as possible, that is to say reach 6th place. It will therefore be necessary to make a feat in this derby of Occitania.
