In the first half, the teams played a little busy game and did not create many chances to score. The hosts even opened the scoring with Moutoussamy after Lovren’s failure, but the goal was disallowed by VAR for offside. The match therefore went into the break tied at 0-0.
At 12 minutes of the second half, Nantes managed to clear the scoreboard. Blas received a launch in the area, dominated the chest and kicked hard, scoring a beautiful goal. Lyon even tried to grow in the match, but could not get past the opposing defense, which played a very safe game.
