Coupe de France: Nantes eliminates Monaco and flies into the final
NOTbefore offers himself a Coupe de France final against Nice after overcoming Monaco on penalties (4-2, 2-2 at the end of regulation time) in a stadium of La Beaujoire in fusion, Wednesday March 2 . On the one hand, ambitious and revengeful Monegasques but not successful in Ligue 1, on the other Nantes on the brink of the abyss, the last one but now 7th in the championship and recent winners of PSG. Rémy Descamps, the Nantes N.2 goalkeeper designated for the Coupe de France, distinguished himself by stopping Wissam Ben Yedder’s first shot on goal.
However, it was the Monegasques who quickly took the advantage thanks to a superb header from the back of Guillermo Maripan on a free kick from Caio Henrique (0-1, 12th). But Nantes equalized thanks to an own goal from Monegasque defender Djibril Sidibé (1-1, 21st). Then following a moment of confusion in the Monegasque area, Samuel Moutoussamy emerged to give his side the advantage (2-1, 74th), putting the stadium in a trance. But Myron Boadu, barely entering the game and forgotten in the Nantes area, immediately equalized with a header (2-2, 76th).
And if the two teams have continued to press, they have not yet been able to decide, as in their two confrontations this season in Ligue 1: 1-1 in Monaco in August and 0-0 in Nantes in January. Each time, Monaco had dominated and Nantes resisted well. Three times titled (1979, 1999 and 2000), the Yellow and Green will return to the Stade de France for the first time since their defeat against Sochaux in the Coupe de la Ligue final in 2004.
