3 goals conceded, none scored. FC Nantes and SCO d’Angers both fell to two tough opponents. PSG for Nantes and Nice for Angers.
–
The match between Nantes and PSG took place last night behind closed doors in a Beaujoire stadium deserted by the public.
Two huge chances and a missed penalty, the canaries brought back to the locker room a lot of disappointments. Besides a defeat score without appeal.
On the ground, it is Nantes which raises its voice in the first period.
And as so often now, everything starts from Randall Kolo Muani.
In the 16th minute the young striker mystified the Parisian defenders before serving Simon Moses on a plateau.
The Nigerian, two meters from the goal, misses completely.
Second golden opportunity for the canaries in the 36th minute.
Kolo Muani tries his luck on his own but his wrapped shot does not find the framework of Kaylor Navas, the goalkeeper of PSG.
Second missed opportunity.

KOLO MUANI! What a huge opportunity again for the Yellow and Green! Randal, found at the entrance to the area, hooks a defender and wraps just above the skylight ????#FCNPSG

The two teams return to the locker room with a goalless score.
But in the second half the pressure put by PSG will bear fruit.
Picked cold at the start of the second period, FC Nantes can do nothing against the Mbappé-Herrera combination.
First goal of the match scored by Herrera on a cross from Mbappé in the 47th minute.
PSG double the score in the 65th minute on penalty after a virtual foul by Castelleto on Mbappé.
We are never better served than by ourselves: penalty converted by the top scorer in the championship.
Nantes are led two goals to zero. And will miss the unmissable a few minutes later.
A penalty awarded to him on a tackle. A shot yet on target from Bamba.
But the Parisian goalkeeper is anticipating on the bright side.
⏱ | 70′@MarcusMawkus gets a penalty after being pushed into the box by Dagba. @KdrBamba takes his responsibilities but comes up against Navas who chooses the right side … #FCNPSG

The coup de grace will come in the 88th minute by a lobe of Sarabia.
Final score 3 goals to zero for Paris.
Christian Gourcuff’s men are provisionally 15th in the Ligue 1 standings.
Next match for the canaries scheduled for November 8 in Lorient.
Angers falls on the same score
After another minute of silence for the three victims of the knife attack Thursday in a church in Nice, the Aiglons immediately had control of the debates, with a pressing marked by several strikes and a series of corners more or less well drawn.
It is precisely on a new corner that Dante gave the ball for RonyLopez, launched a little off-center in the right of the area: small control of the chest, outside of the left foot, and the Portuguese striker loaned for the season by Sevilla FC scored his first goal in his new shirt (0-1, 12th).

The Angevins tried to come back, in particular on a free kick from Angelo Fulgini repelled by Walter Benitez (17th), but it was the former Paul Bernardoni who stood out: on a hazardous exit, he collided with Jeff Reine -Adelaide, the former
favorite of Raymond Kopa, launched full axis by Dante.
After checking the video images, referee Jérémy Stinat awarded a penalty, transformed by Pierre Lees-Melou (0-2, 23rd).
The efforts of Stéphane Moulin’s men to catch up with their delay were in vain, despite a header from Ismaël Traoré in the arms of Benitez (45th) and a marked pressing after the locker room, then a series of actions and strikes after the exit of Dante, without clear opportunity for all that.
On an overflow of Hassane Kamara, Bernardoni badly boxed the center of the Nice side. Amine Gouiri returned the ball with his head and Hicham Boudaoui just had to push it into the empty goal (0-3, 76th).

For the Angevins, who had recovered from their 6-1 defeat in Paris at the beginning of October thanks to good victories in Nantes (2-1) and Rennes (2-1), it is a new disappointment, to digest quickly before a trip next week to Nîmes.
