Match in Five Sentences: Nantes lost 1-0 to Angers in Ligue 1. In the 52nd minute, Amine Sbaï swept in Jordan Lefort's cross after a corner. Les Canaris responded with changes and pressure, yet Mostafa Mohamed headed wide (74.) and Hervé Koffi saved low soon after. Les Canaris attempted 13 shots to Angers' 11 but hit the target only three times, while Koffi made three saves. Angers rise to 11th on 32 points, while Les Canaris stay 17th, and they visit Paris Saint-Germain next as Angers host Nice.

Player of the Match: Sbaï decided the contest with a precise finish and led the visitors' threat with three shots on target that repeatedly tested the defence.

Stat of the Match: Les Canaris delivered 34 crosses at 23.5% accuracy, highlighting a wing-heavy approach that lacked precision.

Three Things We Learned: Set pieces mattered, with Lefort's corner-led delivery creating the winner. Koffi made three saves and claimed four high balls, providing calm handling behind a busy back line. Angers' 68.8% tackle success underpinned their lead, while Les Canaris' 48.6% possession did not translate into clear chances.
