Final Score: Angers 2 - Nantes 1
What a match! Angers pulled off a nail-biting victory over Nantes in a thrilling Ligue 1 encounter. The home side, Nantes, put up a good fight but ultimately fell short against a determined Angers side.
Angers took the lead with two well-taken goals, one by Bobichon in the 50th minute and another by El Melali in the 87th. Nantes managed to get a goal back in the 17th minute by Blas.
Both teams were quite evenly matched, with each having 50% possession. Nantes had a slightly higher shot count (9 to 13 for Angers), but Angers' shots were more dangerous with a higher shot-on-goal count and greater accuracy (80% pass accuracy compared to Nantes' 81%).
The most exciting moments were arguably the late goals. Angers' late goal secured the win, leaving Nantes supporters frustrated. Early in the game, Angers substituted Capelle for Santamaría, perhaps a tactical decision to address Nantes' early attacking pressure. Later, Nantes subbed in Moutoussamy and also replaced Coulibaly with Ndilu, but despite these tactical shifts, Angers held their ground.
Overall, it was a well-contested match with a few crucial tactical decisions influencing the final result. A fantastic game for the fans!
