Man of the Match: Omlin (7): he had a good game on the whole with lots of saves, including a save that was worth a goal. Kolo Muani appeared in front of him two meters from the goal and tried to finish with a sharp point to surprise the keeper. But the Montpellier, with a remarkable reflex, deflected the ball. His team owes him this point of draw.
Montpellier : 5-3-2
Omlin (7): see comment above.
Souquet (5) : correct match: not inside, but far from having made a reference match. Replaced by Zambia (64e).
Hilton (6) : solid game of the oldest player in Ligue 1. The threat was often present but he managed his troops well.
Congress (5): like Cozza, he will have worked hard but will not have been very sharp in all his interventions.
Mussel (5): similar comment.
Oyongo (6): he scored the first goal of the match (7th) in the box. After a good shift on the right side, comes a cross that Ferri takes over and Lafont stops. Corchia emerges in disaster, unfortunately on Oyongo who controls and finds the small net in power with the left foot. Replaced by Ristic at the 64th.
Chotard (5): he alternated between the good and the shy, author of several good deeds but also transparent on certain sequences.
Irons (6): the intentions were good and the achievement was good enough. Dolly replaces the ex-Lyonnais in the 80th.
Calf (5): a match neither really good nor really bad. The Nantes environment has made more impact. He goes out because of an embarrassment, it seems. The Tallec replaces him in the 54th.
Laborde (4) : he didn’t show much tonight and the bond he usually has with Delort was almost extinct tonight.
Delort (6): unlike his sidekick in attack, he was on the good side of his team and showed more self-sacrifice than the rest of his team.
Nantes : 4-4-2
Lafont (6) : almost as much in demand as his fellow goalkeeper from the opposing team, his saves were a little less complicated but the international Espoir made them well.
Corchia (6): on the way, he gave it to the Nantes game. Not stingy with effort, he didn’t count his climbs in his hallway and the number of corners and free kicks he shot.
Girotto (5): a score not sparkling but far from bad. We once again found him on the edge of the surface to take a strong free kick, and shoot it well as often, but the wall deflects it.
Ball (6): a little sharper than his Brazilian friend in central hinge, he also responded in the desire to go forward and revive without too much delay.
Fabio (not rated): author of 40 good first minutes, he is forced to leave, on injury. Traore (6) He replaced him in the 44th minute. He took the tempo of the match and got used to it, not balking at the efforts and climbing on his side.
Coco (6) : we would have liked to see him evolve higher on the field, but his choice to lose few balls, to defend and to participate in the game of his team make his match one of the most consistent he has played in the Nantes jersey. Bamba takes his place (82nd).
Touré (6) : present in the duels, looking often forward, the training Nantes has found his rhythm in the midfield and well compensates for his speed gaps now by carrying the ball little and finding the areas of space quite effectively .
Abeid (7): very involved also, his efforts were seen: he was everywhere this evening. Recovery, recovery, around the surface for a shift … The Montpellier midfielder struggled to exist especially in the second half, and the Algerian international is not for nothing.
Louza (6): involved like his teammates, he sometimes lacked technical accuracy but was generally at the level of his partners, being efficient in projections and rarely short of ideas. He scored his team’s goal at the entrance to the area following a nice exchange with Coulibaly and Touré.
Kolo Muani (7): he had legs tonight, the international Espoir. Although having lost a few balls, his catch of balls systematically annoyed his opponents and he fully participated in the game of his team by playing balls in the center, on the sides and even in his half of the field. His ride to the entrance to the box after defeating three opponents in his own camp is testament to his desire to show what he is capable of. He could / should have scored in the second half, but his point is miraculously diverted by Omlin.
Coulibaly (6) : he was able to be precise in his movements and made better use of the balls he played: in this way, he was able to use his size wisely.
