Angers 4-1 Nantes ratings: Himad Abdelli applauded, Yassine Benhattab under scrutiny | OneFootball

Angers dismantled Nantes 4-1 on Friday night, Himad Abdelli dictating the contest while Yassine Benhattab struggled on his return. According to L'Équipe, Abdelli was given 8/10 and Benhattab 2/10.

Abdelli converted a 17-minute penalty to put Angers ahead. On his first start since matchday 4 at Nice, a 0-1 defeat, Benhattab struggled in duels and lost possession 16 times before the break. When an opening arrived on 27, he shot at Koffi.

Sidiki Chérif made it 2-0 on 60 from Louis Mouton’s well-weighted pass, with Abdelli providing the penultimate pass. Both Chérif and Mouton were marked 7/10. At the same moment Benhattab was withdrawn for El-Arabi, and Mostafa Mohamed, starting for the first time since 19 October alongside Matthis Abline in a 4-4-2, also went off for Mayckel Lahdo after offering little threat.

Chidozie Awaziem, the nominal leader of Nantes’ defence, has been in a poor run and was beaten by Chérif for that second goal. He won only 50 percent of his duels and was booked for a late challenge on Mouton on 69. Awaziem was given 3/10, while Mohamed also received 2/10.

Chérif went off to applause for Peter on 73. After Lahdo shifted to the right, he set up Fabien Centonze to score on 81. Mouton departed on 83 for Courcoul, Abdelli’s shot led to Angers’ third on 85, then Hanin replaced him at 90+1 to warm applause.
