Nantes suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Marseille in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday, with Moses Simon unable to make a significant impact for his team. The Nigerian forward started the game but was substituted with 20 minutes remaining as Nantes struggled to find their rhythm.
The match saw some early drama when Adrien Rabiot thought he had opened the scoring for Marseille in the 11th minute, only for VAR to rule out his goal. However, Marseille eventually broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute through Amine Gouiri, much to the delight of the home fans.
Former Manchester United winger Mason Greenwood then doubled Marseille’s lead just four minutes later, effectively sealing the victory for the home side. Nantes were unable to mount a comeback, leaving them in 14th place in the league table with 24 points. They are currently five points clear of the relegation zone and four points adrift of the relegation play-off spot.
The defeat was a setback for Nantes, who will be looking to bounce back in their next fixture. Marseille, on the other hand, will be pleased with their performance and will be hoping to build on this victory in the coming matches.
Overall, it was a disappointing result for Nantes, but they will need to regroup and focus on their upcoming games to ensure they secure their status in the French top flight.
