KOLO MUAAAAANI FOR THE NANTES BREAK!
This is the goal of the break for Nantes! Strong cross from Blas towards Geubbels but Placide pushes the ball back as best he can… on Kolo Muani who concludes with his left foot!
HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR SIMON!
Small festival of Moses Simon who erases one, two then three players before hitting in power! It’s countered and the ball flies just above the Corsican goals!
New change in Bastia
Entry into play of Julien Boyer in place of Julien Le Cardinal! It’s a small injury for the Bastia right side.
Corchia misses the target
Good free kick to come for Nantes after a foul by Robic. Corchia will try to take it from 30 meters… It’s very much above!
First changes in this part
It is Antoine Kombouaré who will make a first change! Geubbels takes the place of Cyprien.
And for Bastia it’s a double change! Robic and Taoui make their comeback in place of Ducrocq and Magri.
Simon’s strike!
Another opportunity for FC Nantes which is getting closer to a second goal! He takes advantage of a doubling of Merlin to shift his right foot and follow up with a strike! It’s just above!
Blas tries the impossible!
Without looking and with a good rebound, Ludovic Blas tries a sudden volley which passes just above the goals of Placide!
Cyprien’s strike!
Finally a striking position for Nantes with Simon who finds Cyprien in the box! The former Nice tries a touch but it’s too crushed!
Cyprien must lift his ball
Corner for Nantes after a nice climb from Merlin! Cyprien is going to shoot him but he still does not pass the first post… Too bad!
Simon very restless
Little in sight in the first period, Moses Simon regained vigor on his first balloons. It still lacks a good pass or a shot but it’s a start!
IT’S HALF-TIME! NANTES LEADS 1 TO 0 ON THE PITCH!
This is the Beaujoire break! Nantes leads 1-0 against Bastia and is halfway to half against Monaco. Launched on a penalty kick by Kolo Muani and converted by the inevitable Blas, the Canaries suffered the rest of the time. The Corsicans could have equalized and even hit the post!
Bastia needs to breathe
The Corsicans are suffering at the end of the first period and are surely eager to go to the locker room. They project themselves against and Santelli tries a shot from the left! Descamps blocks the strike!
Nantes breathes a little better
Corner for Nantes which emerges little by little. It’s shot by Cyprien who does not pass the first post!
Santelli’s strike!
Another beautiful movement from Bastia and Santelli finds himself in a striking position! The striker takes his chance but finds Descamps on the trajectory!
Nantes is looking for opportunities
The Canaries are always looking for dangerous situations but the Bastia block is hard to take from behind. You will have to be patient!
Kombouaré gets angry
Cyprien and Blas were hit by a few Corsican soles! It’s crazy for Antoine Kombouaré who passes the ball to a referee.
THE POST FOR BASTIA!
Found at the entrance to the surface, Christophe Vincent takes his chance at ground level! The ball finds the outside post of the Canaries!
Nantes is reassured
Possession returns a little to Nantes’ feet but Bastia presses high. Pallois is under pressure but gives Descamps who releases as he can!
Nantes is not doing well
Since Blas’ goal, the Canaries have not been able to get out of their camp and have to defend a lot. Complicated for the men of Kombouaré!
Vincent takes his chance
Bastia continues to put constant pressure on Descamps’ goal. Vincent comes forward and sends a praline to the 25 meters that the Nantes goalkeeper captures in two stages.
Descamps remains serious
Interesting free kick for Bastia and Salles Lamonge! He sends the ball into the box for Santelli who slams a header on target. Descamps pushes back!
Santelli tries to get the penalty
Very good ball from Vincent towards Santelli who takes speed Girotto! The Nantes defender jostles him in the area but he throws himself completely. The referee does not flinch!
Beautiful defense of Le Cardinal
Another deep ball attempted by Chirivella for Simon but Le Cardinal narrowly intercepts this pass! It was still very hot!
HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR BASTIA
Superb ball from Salles-Lamonge for Santelli who finds himself face to face with Descamps! Unfortunately the attacker hits hard on the goalkeeper who pushes back!
It’s hot for Corsica!
Another very very hot situation for Nantes with Kolo Muani who is still behind the defense. Placide comes out and seems to touch Kolo Muani who collapses. The referee says nothing!
THE BLAAAAS BUUUUUT!
It is Ludovic Blas, captain and double scorer in the previous round, who will shoot him! He springs with his left foot… and deceives Placide in the middle but under the bar! 1 to 0 for Nantes!
PENALTY FOR NANTES! INCREDIBLE SCENARIO!
After 40 minutes of play, penalty for Nantes after a foul by Senaiti on Kolo Muani who went on goal! It’s confirmed on video!
NANTES-BASTIA KICK-OFF!
And here we go for this last quarter-final of the Coupe de France between Nantes and Bastia at La Beaujoire. The two clubs hope to reach the last four where Monaco awaits them!
La Beaujoire, a new stronghold?
Since their home defeat against OM on December 1, the Canaries have had a good record on their home turf with four wins and a draw (0-0 against Monaco) in five games, all competitions combined. Moreover, the Yellows have not yet conceded a goal in the Coupe de France.
For its part, Bastia travels poorly in the league (8 setbacks, 1 draw and 2 successes). The mission of the Corsicans therefore promises to be complicated in the Loire-Atlantique.
By zooming here is the Bastia composition!
Placide, Sainati, Le Cardinal, Palun, Guidi, Ducrocq, Vincent, Schur, Magri, Salles Lamonge, Santelli
Note the presence on the bench of veteran Chaouki Ben Saada (37 years old!).
And here is the composition of the Canaries!
Antoine Kombouaré decided to line up an attack with Blas, Simon and Kolo Muani. Cyprien will be in midfield with Chirivella and Pereira de Sa. Descamps will keep the Nantes goals!
Nantes-Bastia, kick-off at 9 p.m.!
Good evening everyone and welcome to RMC Sport to follow the end of the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France live. After a quiet qualification against Brest, FC Nantes played Bastia in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France.
