Nantes have secured their place in the Coupe de France semi-finals after defeating Openda 2-1 at Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday evening.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams displaying excellent attacking football and creating chances throughout the game.
However, it was Nantes who came out on top, thanks to two impressive goals from forward Moussa Fofana.
Fofana's first goal came in the 46th minute, as he headed home a cross from his teammate Anthony Lopes to give Nantes a 1-0 lead.
Openda responded immediately, however, as they equalised through a penalty kick taken by midfielder Romain Le Saux in the 59th minute.
Despite this setback, Nantes continued to press for an equaliser, and were rewarded with another goal just three minutes later when Fofana scored his second of the game.
His header from a corner kick gave Nantes a commanding 2-1 lead, which they would hold onto until the final whistle.
The win sends Nantes into the semi-finals of the Coupe de France, where they will face either Paris Saint-Germain or Monaco.
Overall, it was a fantastic display of attacking football from Nantes, who showed why they are considered one of the most dangerous teams in Ligue 1. Fofana's two goals were particularly impressive, and he continues to be a key player for the team. The victory also gives Nantes some much-needed confidence ahead of their upcoming league fixtures.
