On Sunday, Nantes secured their first win in Ligue 1 since September 25th with a 1-0 victory over Montpellier at the Parc des Princes. The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating numerous chances but failing to convert them into goals.
The game began with Nantes taking control of the midfield and dominating possession. They created several opportunities for themselves, but were unable to convert any of them into a goal. However, it was not until the second half that they found their breakthrough.
In the 68th minute, Nantes forward Muani Fati scored his first goal for the club, giving them the lead. The goal came after a well-worked move involving Fati and the full-backs on the left flank. The ball was played out wide to Fati who beat two defenders before sliding the ball past the goalkeeper.
The goal was a much-needed win for Nantes, who had been struggling in recent weeks. Their three-game winless streak ended as they moved up to fourth place in the table. Fati's goal also marked his first senior international goal for Morocco, where he has represented the country since he was just 14 years old.
Overall, it was a well-deserved victory for Nantes, who have now turned their season around. They will be hoping to continue this momentum and push for a top-four finish this season. Meanwhile, Montpellier remain in seventh place, having lost three consecutive matches in all competitions.
