Thanks to goals from Blas and Kolo Muani, Nantes dominated Bastia this Thursday evening in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France (2-0). In the next round, the Canaries will triumph over Monaco for a place in the final.
Paris, Marseille and Lyon eliminated, there will certainly be something to play for in this 2021-22 edition of the Coupe de France. The last square is now known. If OGC Nice, brilliant winner of OM (4-1), will have to face the little minnow Versailles, FC Nantes, for its part, will find AS Monaco for a great classic between two strongholds of football French. Opposed this Thursday in Bastia, the Canaries fulfilled their mission by validating their qualification after a serious performance (2-0)failure to be perfect.
Blas and Kolo Muani took care of everything
Above all, Nantes made its experience and talent speak, under the impetus of its two strong men of the season, Ludovic Blas and Randal Kolo Muani. On the first acceleration of the latter, the attacking midfielder unblocked the situation by transforming a penalty with authority from the third minute of play (1-0). An ideal scenario for the men of Kombouaré, who were kept asleep by a Corsican team without complex. The visitors had their highlights, too, without managing to grow them, Descamps multiplying the stops when he did not generate a touch of chance (19th, 27th, 38th or 43rd).
After letting the storm pass, the people of Nantes regained control of operations during a slightly more controlled second act. And once again, the duo Blas – Kolo Muani took care of everything to make the break twenty minutes from the end, the second making his opportunism speak after Placide badly repelled a vicious cross from the first (2-0, 71st). The score has not changed. Nantes will face Monaco on March 2. The appointment is made.
