Friborg showed its superiority against FC Nantes by winning 2-0. Nantes chained a second defeat in a row. Here are the highs and flops of the match.
TOPS
Ultra decisive Lafont
Luckily Alban Lafont was there. The latter has made magnificent parades on several occasions in Friborg and has long maintained hope for his family. From the third minute, the Nantes goalkeeper proved decisive by winning his face-to-face with Gregoritsch. Thirty minutes later, Kyereh manages to strike from the right but his attempt is still diverted by Lafont, once again vigilant. Not enough to avoid another setback to the Canaries (2-0). The Nantes goalkeeper gave in for the first time in the 48th minute and then in the 72nd minute.
The rigor of Freiburg
The domination of Freiburg, undefeated for nine games, was seen from the start of the match. Whether offensively or defensively, the Germans delivered a high-flying performance. They have only very rarely been worried by the Canaries, except at the end of the match (84th, 88th). But the defense held. Already superior in the first period, the German club made the difference in the second by scoring two goals.
FLOPS
Blas alone in the world
He didn’t have many chances to get his teeth into except for this semi-opportunity at the start of the match (11th). Blas, astutely, pretends to cross and the ball takes the path of the net. Fortunately for the Germans, Flekken is vigilant and diverts. The midfielder tried everything to be dangerous but his teammates didn’t really help him. In addition, the Frenchman was effectively muzzled by the German defense.
Nantes’ lack of realism
Already led 2-0, the Nantes awakening was much too late. The Canaries only proved dangerous at the end of the match with two good chances. A German defender involuntarily serves Guessand in the center and the new Nantes entrant rushes to shoot at the edge of the Freiburg area. His shot from the right flies away and the Canaries already waste a first opportunity (84th). Four minutes later, Corchia sent a cross extended by Ganago to the near post. Surprised, Moutoussamy does not fit the head at close range.
