Lorient 2-3 Strasbourg: Mike Penders stands firm as Sebastian Nanasi sparks late turnaround | OneFootball

Strasbourg came from behind to beat Lorient 3-2 at Le Moustoir, sealing victory deep into stoppage time. Mike Penders kept the visitors alive, and Sebastian Nanasi, quiet before the break, was involved in all three goals.

According to L'Équipe, Penders, Nanasi and Rafael Luis were rated 7, as were Lorient pair Pablo Pagis and Panos Katseris. Nathaniel Adjei received 4, Samir El-Mourabet and Julio Enciso 3, and Junior Mwanga 2.

Pagis slalomed through on 23 minutes and struck the post. Katseris delivered his first assist of the season for Cadiou to open the scoring on 26, before Penders denied Adjei and Faye with outstanding stops.

Pagis made it 2-0 from the spot on 54 after Mwanga tugged Kouassi's shirt. Penders thwarted B. Dieng on 60, then Nanasi volleyed in left-footed from a fine Rafael Luis cross on 62.

Nanasi forced Adjei to turn into his own net on 90+2, from another Rafael Luis delivery. He then swung in the corner that, via a slight Soumano touch, allowed Omobamidele to snatch the winner on 90+9.

Pagis now has nine Ligue 1 goals this season. Katseris, back since late February after almost six months out with a thigh injury, coupled that assist with robust defensive work.
