Decisive figure off the bench seals the points for Angers | OneFootball

Djibirin Harouna settled the game in the 85th minute with a low finish, as Angers beat Nantes 4-1.

Moments before the winner, Harouna had a close-range attempt blocked, then stayed alive for the ensuing corner and tucked away the next chance, with VAR confirming the goal. The cameo swung momentum Angers' way late on.

He offered constant penalty box presence in a brief spell, winning an aerial duel and making three touches in the area. Across eight minutes, he produced two attempts with one on target, exactly the punch the hosts needed against Les Canaris.

The impact came from attacking the second phase on set pieces and reacting first to loose balls. Harouna's sharp movements pinned defenders and ensured Angers controlled the decisive moments.

Angers rise from 11th to ninth in Ligue 1. They visit Les Herbiers in the Coupe de France next before a league trip to Le Havre. Les Canaris host Paris FC next in Ligue 1.
