What a dominant performance from Angers tonight, securing a 2-0 win over Nantes at the Stade Raymond-Kopa! Angers controlled the game from start to finish. They finished with 45% of possession and had a solid 7 shots, 3 on target. In contrast, Nantes struggled to create clear-cut chances, managing only 15 shots, with only 4 finding the target.
The game was tightly contested for the first half with neither side able to break the deadlock. But, the turning point came in the second half. Two well-worked goals, coming in the 48th minute and 53rd minute, put Angers firmly in the driving seat. Angers' substitutions also proved vital, creating more attacking opportunities and maintaining possession throughout the game. Nantes' substitutions came a little later in the match and unfortunately did not help turn the tide for them.
The most exciting moment was undoubtedly the pair of goals that Angers scored, especially the second one which was expertly executed. Nantes, despite their overall shots count, lacked the cutting edge in the final third. They were repeatedly thwarted by Angers' solid defense.
Angers clearly came into the game with a tactical approach focused on maintaining possession and patiently creating opportunities, while Nantes seemed to rely more on quick transitions and individual brilliance. Overall, a convincing win for Angers, who deserved the victory.
