Nantes gets rid of Bastia and will find Monaco in the semis

FC Nantes continues its flawless course during this Coupe de France and overcomes Bastia during this quarter-final. Antoine Kombouaré’s men won 2-0, not without difficulty.

However, everything was going very well for the Canaries. A penalty whistled by Anthony Gautier after 40 seconds of play for a two-man take and a foul by Joris Sainati on Randal Kolo Muani. Captain Ludovic Blas transforms and allows his team to lead after three minutes of play. Behind, the Bastiais did not let go. Far from there. They were the ones who held the ball with almost 70% possession in the first 30 minutes. However, they were too clumsy in front of goal and heroic Remy Descamps made six saves in 45 minutes.

The SCB who leaves with the same game intentions in the second half: ball control and placed attacks, with good crosses delivered by the pistons. Nevertheless, efficiency still flees the Corsicans, who are slowing down on the hour mark. A change in this meeting was also due to Kombouaré’s good coaching. The FCN coach did not hesitate to release Wylan Cyprien for the return of Willem Geubbels. Ten minutes later, Régis Brouard’s players were logically punished or almost. Randal Kolo Muani, opportunistically, scored his team’s second goal after a slight but fatal error by goalkeeper Johny Placide. Few movements in this end of meeting. Nantes controlled and Bastia was no longer able to attack.

FC Nantes therefore joins the last four and will receive AS Monaco for a place in the final on March 2.
