Standout star drives Nantes to statement win at Marseille | OneFootball

Fabien Centonze struck in the 31st minute to set Nantes on course for a 2-0 victory at Marseille.

From his right flank, he arrived at the far post to whip a right-footed finish into the top right, a clinical run from the wing that broke open a tight game.

Moments later, he drew a foul to relieve pressure (32.), and his combative work on the right pinned back Les Olympiens before the interval.

He finished with one goal from one attempt, three fouls won and five ball recoveries, plus two interceptions and a blocked shot, underlining both his timing in the box and defensive edge.

Operating wide for Les Canaris, his advanced positions repeatedly exploited space outside Les Phocéens' back line, setting the tone even before he departed at the break through injury.

Les Canaris rise from 17th to 16th and host Nice in the Coupe de France next. Les Phocéens face Paris Saint-Germain in the Trophée des Champions before returning to league action.
