00:00Nantes are in serious danger of returning to Ligue 2 for the first time in 13 years.
00:05They've lost six of their last seven games and sit down in 17th place.
00:09The Canaries desperately need a result.
00:14Angers get us underway, looking to pile more misery on their Western rivals.
00:21Nantes this afternoon. Angers have beaten Nantes.
00:25Centre-back trio for Nantes.
00:30Asien with work to do, clears forward.
00:37The cross is a dangerous one that's well defended by Kaba at the near post.
00:42Goals have dried up of late four.
00:45Angers have lost their last three games without registering a single strike.
00:51Then to FC Nantes.
00:58Aplein's delivery.
00:59Headed down and behind by Ali Youssef.
01:06This is Arcus.
01:08Oh, they're queuing up there.
01:09The Angers players in the middle.
01:11The Nantes marking was pretty slack.
01:16Carl-Ens Arcus with an inviting cross as well.
01:21Headed over by Coyoliput.
01:24That's well played by Coyoliput.
01:27The cross by Ecomiet.
01:30It's gone all the way across to Arcus.
01:34Well, that's a real opportunity for Angers.
01:39It's gone all the way.
01:40And Nantes are having trouble getting to grips with these Nantes players.
01:48Arcus with the little cutback.
01:52It was Sebe with the...
01:55Giroud forward.
01:58Machado into the box.
02:05It does well, Dava Machado.
02:08Kaba now.
02:09That means Sebe.
02:11Forward to Coyoliput.
02:16Good feint from Coyoliput.
02:19But Goza recovers and gets the challenge in.
02:23Goza.
02:25Machado.
02:28Looking for Ganego.
02:29Ganego with the chance.
02:31Turned it wide of that near post.
02:34But an opening at last for FC Nantes.
02:41Goal had...
02:43Canego scored it.
02:45To Gabar.
02:46The pen on now.
02:48That's a better pass for Abelín.
02:52Abelín's cross.
02:53Too close to Kofi.
02:56He will be disappointed.
02:57The 27-year-old Cameroonian.
03:03Now the cross and the header down from Coyoliput.
03:06Lopez saves.
03:10Well action at both ends all of a sudden.
03:14Given away by Arcus.
03:18Ganego on the charge again.
03:20He's got Abelín ahead of him.
03:21Ganego goes for goal.
03:24Powerful but a little bit too high.
03:32Still.
03:33The crown.
03:35London Bowman who's got a...
03:36Good passing range.
03:40Excellent long pass up.
03:411-2 0-3 0-3 0-3 0-3 0-3 0-0 0-3 0.
03:55And the ball goes a long way.
03:59It's then smashed over the top by...
04:03And a go coming infield. Abilin lays it out to Le Penot. Deep cross from him. Machado volleyed the ball
04:12back into the danger zone.
04:17It's almost 30 minutes into this one. Ali Youssef looking to get the Canaries moving forward. Oasim.
04:28Offended by Abilin crosses. Kofi missed it.
04:33And it's headed away. This time Kofi will collect.
04:43Again, Andre caught out. Again, it's Abilin on the charge. Matisse Abilin. That's a good ball. Le Penot. Le Penot
04:51misses at the near post.
04:54They're just not keeping their call in front of goal at the moment. The chances are starting to come though.
05:01Good play from Abilin who burst into the box and then waited before rolling it across to Le Penot.
05:08After a big bid came in from Fennepacek.
05:17Into the box. Headed away by Kamara. Shot on here. Decent volley from Le Penot.
05:25Sentence. Headed back in by Youssef. Chance now.
05:30Again.
05:32They snatch at the chance. It's Louis Leroux this time.
05:39Proceedings and they're creating chances.
05:42And they get a goal before halftime. Not with that kind of delivery from Abilin.
05:48He's going to have another chance. Is he? He's just taking his eye off the ball.
05:55Hecomye with the header.
05:57Out comes Lopez.
06:01In the Champions League.
06:04Van den Bolmen take this free kick.
06:08It's a good delivery.
06:09Kos's header away.
06:12Hecomye now.
06:16That is it for the first half.
06:20Nantes have had opportunities.
06:21They've been wasteful though in front of goal.
06:29Nantes get us back underway.
06:32Nantes needing.
06:34Nantes have got it back.
06:36A bit of space now for Abilin.
06:40Sentence.
06:42Cross is straight down the throat of Hervé Kofi.
06:51Dutchman with an excellent dead ball delivery usually.
06:57And then Bolmen into the middle.
07:01It's hooked back in.
07:03Maybe a shooting chance at the goal.
07:06Amin Sibay has got Angers in front.
07:10They have barely threatened in this game so far.
07:15But they have shown a more ruthless streak in front of goal than Nantes.
07:22And look at the travelling supporters.
07:28Angers fans love to get one over their rivals Nantes.
07:32And they've got their noses in front here.
07:36And the ball is hooked back in by Lefort.
07:38And it's brilliant from Sibay.
07:40He doesn't have much time to set himself.
07:46He chests it up and volleys.
07:48A super shot beyond Lopez.
07:51And Nantes have only won one of their last six home Ligue 1 games against Angers.
07:57Having won 18 of the first 19 home matches.
08:03The pendulum has swung.
08:05Shot on here for Sontence.
08:06He drives it low.
08:08Camera clears.
08:09And look at this.
08:13Sibay looking for another goal.
08:15It's a good start by Lopez.
08:19Nantes all of a sudden looking vulnerable.
08:2315 points would separate Angers and Nantes if it stays like this.
08:27Sibay again with the shot.
08:28Lopez with the save.
08:34Kieric Cappell.
08:36Well capable of scoring from this sort of range.
08:39Cappell into the wall.
08:40Another chance.
08:41Blasted over by van den Bauman.
08:45Machado coming forward here.
08:47Machado crossing.
08:48Cleared by camera.
08:55Bui Lippu.
08:56Flag stays down.
08:58Up against Koza.
09:00Bui Lippu does get the shot away.
09:02But it's going to go out for a throw.
09:08Van den Bauman.
09:11Good delivery.
09:12It's come off the head though with Jordan LaFore and gone wide.
09:24Here he is.
09:26Decent cross as well from Tabibu.
09:30Quite clear though by van den Bauman.
09:35A little bit of pressure from Nantes.
09:37Le pennant again.
09:40Headed away only as far as Tabibu.
09:43Onto his left foot.
09:44Gets the drive away.
09:53Bui Lippu does well.
09:55But Spee can't get there.
09:57Yusuf anticipating and looks to hit these dead balls with real speed Ablin which is good.
10:04It's got to be so accurate.
10:07Tabibu crossing.
10:10Penance header.
10:11Yusuf coming back.
10:17Now Fabien Sontance.
10:19The header is flicked on but Angers will take their time of course.
10:24They are inching closer to what would be an excellent result.
10:30Sabay is onside.
10:31Is he?
10:32The flag is up.
10:37Yeah.
10:37Bell Kebler.
10:38We don't often.
10:40It'll be a bit of pill.
10:42Another one for the Nantes fans.
10:43Van den Bauman with the.
10:45Ball in.
10:46Headed down by Kamara.
10:56Ablin's delivery.
10:59Again, Angers defending it very stubbornly.
11:03Tabibu takes.
11:04Good stop from Kofi.
11:06And he struck it really well.
11:11Tabibu wants more.
11:13A little flick from him intercepted by Akormye.
11:21Kofi is the chant being at yet another set piece.
11:26Tabibu low this time.
11:29And the appeals are coming from Andre players.
11:33Mostafa Mohamed.
11:34Oh, it's deflected and Kofi saves again.
11:36Play back in and hits Koza on the back.
11:46All cameras header isn't good.
11:48Shot on.
11:49Shot over.
11:50Another.
11:52Poor.
11:52Now, Nantes take the throw quickly.
11:55Helped on by Le Penant.
11:57Ablin.
11:58Matisse Ablin on the charge.
12:00Oh, he's got the shot away.
12:03That he can't find the target.
12:08And some.
12:15The whistle blows.
12:17Boos ring around the bourgeois.
12:19Nantes have been beaten for a 16th time this season.
12:23They are.
12:32Boos ring around the bourgeois.
12:33Boos ring around the bourgeois.
12:33Boos ring around the bourgeois.
