Football / Ligue 2. AS Nancy Lorraine has fallen back into its pitfalls against Grenoble

After beating two direct opponents and giving themselves a little air in the standings, ASNL approached this match facing a big arm with a boost of confidence. The opportunity to cultivate his beautiful series of nine games without defeat and to get closer to the soft stomach.

An objective that the ASNL saw, but that it did not manage to achieve. After a solid first act, the Nancéiens suffered the domination of a much more biting GF38 and ended up cracking in stoppage time. Like an air of déjà vu.

A relapse therefore, but a lesser evil, since the last three lost at the same time. ASNL therefore keeps its protective mattress.

Haag opens the scoring

The evening started with a glitch on the Nancy side. Injured during the warm-up, El Kaoutari had to give up his starting place to Séka and his captain’s armband to Akichi. A change from post to post which did not disturb a studious ASNL in a rather offensive 4-2-3-1.

If Grenoble obtained the first opportunity following a distant free kick in the “box” and a header from Nestor on which Sourzac was vigilant, it is the ASNL that has first mastered the debates.

Never faulted in the game, the Nancéiens had a highlight that they immediately put to good use on a countered and somewhat lucky strike from Haag after an excellent job from Karamoko (1-0, 23 ‘).

Grenoble mounts the cursor

Scheidler (29 ‘) then Triboulet (34’) were not far from doubling the bet before the GF38 planted two small banderillas just before the break, still on set pieces, one of his great strengths. Alerts without consequence, the head of Pickel not finding the frame and Perez seeing his attempt to push back by Sourzac.

If it had controlled the first period rather well, the ASNL suffered after the rest. First, because she ran out of gas to continue her harassment work. But also because the Isérois have clearly mounted the cursor in the wake of Benet, entered at the break.

Knocked down in the last quarter of an hour

Not very dangerous, except on a strike from a very prominent Latouchent, the ASNL gradually curled up and tried to defend its meager advantage. Jean-Louis Garcia tried to inject fresh blood and consolidate his block but the Isérois logically managed to pick up on a penalty from Benet after a croc in the legs of Coulibaly on Henen (1-1, 78 ‘).

Faced with Grenoblois not content with a draw, ASNL inherited some interesting situations at the end of the match. But like a head of Barka out of frame, she did not take advantage.

Worse still, caught by her old demons, she also let the point of draw slip. Latouchent fault or not? In any case, a final perfectly kicked free kick by Benet allowed Djitté to mystify Sourzac (1-2, 92 ‘). A frustrating scenario that we hoped not to see again. Stop blow.
