Three Things We Learned: NAC had 57.5% possession and 21 attempts, yet only three were on target. Godenzonen recorded 42 clearances and 26 tackles, underlining a committed rearguard. Rayane Bounida struck the left post in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time, a reminder the visitors threatened late.
