00:00The visitors Saint-Etienne to kick us off here. Nantes hosting Saint-Etienne at the
00:06bourgeois looking for the win that could move them into fourth. The greens of
00:11Saint-Etienne need to bounce back from that demoralizing 8-0 defeat at Nice.
00:14Victory could take them out of the relegation zone. Saint-Etienne just one
00:20place off the bottom with three points from five.
00:30Looking for Adeline.
00:36Cisseur come. Hockfield. One with David Tashvili. It's a great burst and a good
00:43ball in. Shot just wide of the post. First chance of the game. Goes to Nantes.
00:49Castelletto. That's a good period of pressure. Just well saw that.
00:58Lovely play by Adeline into the penalty area. Ball still loose and there's the opening goal.
01:05It's that man again. Le Penhant. You cannot keep him down. Second goal in as many games for the
01:13youngster on loan from Lyon.
01:18Lovely build-up. Terrific ball into the path of Kotzer and Le Penhant very
01:26similar. Showing great instincts. And he starts with the move himself. Lovely
01:34blind pass by Adeline.
01:38Kotzer does his job. There's Le Penhant to finish the job.
01:44Sorba. Sorba-Thomas. Teasing ball in. Very nearly fell to Kotzer. They can afford to
01:53play keep ball here from the Canaries. They've got their early goal. Adeline.
01:59Lovely first touch into the penalty area. Flaps over the bar. A chance and he knows it.
02:09It won't be direct.
02:12Ball to the edge of the penalty area. Ball still alive. Simon with the header.
02:18Simon using that blistering speed of his against him. Took a deflection after Batubin-Sikha.
02:33Kyrie Vela. First time straight from the training ground. Perfect weight on the
02:39pass. Simon against Appiah. The Nigerian goes past him. Took a deflection. Corner kick.
02:46This century against Antetiyah.
02:51Old. Nice touch to his left foot. Good ball in. Not a bad header. Thumbs up by Sissoko.
02:59Not serious, says the coach. Kotzer. It's a lovely ball in across the face of the goal. Nobody there.
03:08Petro. Not too much space. Castelleto thinks about the shot. Pulls a trigger.
03:14Over the crossbar. Kyrie Vela's pass. It ended up with Augusto. The penalty to Simon. He's got
03:22options. Here's one of them. Augusto. Wide of the post. Heartbreaking for the Brazilian midfielder.
03:30Gets past his marker. Easily cleared by Petro. But only as far as that man. Good effort. Charge down.
03:39Charge down. The score here from Stade de la Beaujoire.
03:48So after 45 minutes, the Johan Lepenand goal.
03:53Everything's ready for the second half of football.
03:58Oh, lovely play. And again. Into the penalty area he goes. Oh, my word. That's brilliant.
04:15Lepenand is on fire. Oh, the joy of youth. And it's the Welsh winger,
04:22Silva Tonnes, who gets on the end of the brilliant play. And that is telling. Kyrie Vela
04:29makes a beeline to Lepenand. Have on earth to duel. Just look at this. He's boxed in the corner.
04:36No problem. Little drop of the shoulder. Goes past two. Sets up Tonnes. And that is that.
04:44Oh, that's wonderful. Truly wonderful play. Glides past Mouafeg.
04:51And the pass takes out another two players. And top marks to Sorba Tonnes. Wonderful play.
04:59Truly wonderful. First goal of the campaign for the Welshman. And didn't he take it well?
05:05And didn't he take it well?
05:10Didn't beat the first line of defence, which was the second goal scorer for Nantes,
05:16Tonnes. And here they're not. Canaries come again. They are flying. Simon
05:23dances past Amugu. Behind the defence. A good ball in. Balls to Adeline. Off the post.
05:30And it's a second bite of the cherry.
05:34Well left by Augusto. To Simon. Needs support. Gets it from Kotsa.
05:43Saint-Etienne have never gone four away games without scoring.
05:49And they get to score here this afternoon.
05:52Signed from the Girondins de Bordeaux.
05:57The space here. Thinks the ball in. And there it is. Finally. Saint-Etienne score away from home.
06:05Ibrahim Sissoko. The man to snap that unwanted record.
06:12Into the game. Quickly taken corner by David Tashvili.
06:16Gets the 1-2 from Old. Lovely ball in. And Sissoko.
06:20The right man in the right place. And a lovely backwards glancing header.
06:29Well on the balance of their play in the second half. They've deserved that.
06:35Lovely speed by the Georgian. And technique with his cross.
06:40Right in front of the travelling Saint-Etienne fans. This could inspire the Greens.
06:44Another good delivery by the New Zealander. Clash of heads. Sissoko's down. Referee's got to stop
06:52play here. Castelletto lost track of the ball. He's been in the wars for Sissoko.
07:00I'm sure Castelletto knew too much about it. In other words I don't think the non-captain made
07:06the foul. Sissoko. Oh I beg his pardon. I take that back. Castelletto. It's been a very physical
07:13game. And the referee is asking for a VAR check now. Will there be an extra one here?
07:24Castelletto clearly makes contact with his elbow in the face of Mikhail Nade.
07:31A TV monitor. There's only one decision.
07:35Penalty. Kiri Vela continues to protest. It's a yellow card for Castelletto. For the elbow.
07:48And if Kiri Vela doesn't watch his step. For an equalizer. Sissoko against Lafonte.
07:56The home fans try to put Sissoko off. Sissoko. Brilliant. Into the corner. 2-2.
08:04Saint-Etienne are back in the game. Sissoko second. And Saint-Etienne's.
08:10What a reversal of fortune. Look at that execution. Tremendous angle.
08:18That is textbook penalty taken by Ibrahim Sissoko.
08:28And now. What now? Saint-Etienne. Well they look to be down and out. They've come back from two
08:37goals down in the second half. Saint-Etienne have scored more goals in the past 11 minutes than they
08:42have in the past five and a half games. And here we come again. Amugu. Pulls the trigger. Easy save
08:49in the end for Lafonte. Keeps the ball moving. As does Kiri Vela. Looking for Thomas. Loves to take
08:58it first time the Walshman. He's that confident of his technique and ability. Simon looking for
09:05Konsep. Gets it back again. Lovely flick. Simon into the penalty area. Tries a shot just wide of the far post.
09:14Took a deflection. Corner kick. Thought better of it. Low and hard. Substitute. Ganagu.
09:24Now the Saint-Etienne defence drops back. Ball still kindly. Peels again. Mollet. Brilliant save by Lassener.
09:39Another good delivery. This time well met at the near post.
09:42Straight back into the mix. Mustafi with the header. Lassener.
09:46Mollet leaves it to his teammates. Oh so close. Mustafa.
09:58Zeze. Once again.
10:02Got to be careful here is Petra. Well that was nervous defending.
10:08And there's a man down. It's Assoumani getting involved.
10:19And I can only think yes indeed the final whistle's been blown. Final score here FC Nantes 2.
