Despite good intentions, Nancy failed to find the fault and was punished by Concarneau before the break (0-1).
A first round on a false rhythm. At the end of the minute of silence granted to the victims of the terrible earthquake which struck Turkey and Syria last week, the meeting counting for the 20th day of the National championship started timidly between Nancy and Concarneau as the chances of goals were poor. The people of Nancy were the first to alert the people of Finistère. On a ball pushed back by the defense, El Aynaoui resumed with a half-volley, which did not worry Pattier. The Lorrainers tried to exploit the spaces on the sides but came up against a Concarnoise defense in place. Nangis will try to overflow on the left side to send a cross to Cissé, but the Lorraine striker only touches the ball from the top of his head (15th).
Boutrah crucifie Nancy !
The first clear opportunity showed up half an hour into the game in favor of Benoît Pedretti’s men. On a corner, Cissé rises higher than everyone and forces Pattier to work. Robinet is on the fallout of the ball but still finds the Breton goalkeeper in his path who makes a double save (25th). Before half-time, El Aynaoui eliminates two opposing players and shifts Ndoye who strikes outside the area but it passes away from the target (40th). Jostled, the men of Stéphan Le Mignan will surprise the premises on their only opportunity of the first half thanks to Amine Boutrah (0-1, 45th) who trailed around the opposing surface. The Nancy have received a hell of a blow to the head but there is still time in this match as the fog is felt on the lawn of the Marcel Picot stadium.
