On Saturday evening, the Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fontenot stadium hosted the Ligue 1 match between Nantes and Lorient. The match ended with the victory of "Nantes" with a score of 1:0. The game started with both teams making measured passes, with Nantes taking the lead and scoring the first goal. The visitors did well to stay in the game despite Nantes believing they had several chances to break the deadlock. The first substitution came in the 20th minute when Nantes' J. Castelletto came on as a substitute for Joao Victor. Five minutes later, Lorient made their own substitution: S. Diarra replaced R. Favre.
Nantes moved forward again and made a second substitution at the hour mark when A. Delors replaced Mostafa Mohamed. Shortly thereafter, I. Ganago was replaced by E. Gessan. The only goal of the game was scored in the 66th minute, when L. Blas scored against Nantes. This caused a flurry of activity on both sides and Lorient reacted quickly by introducing I. Kone instead of B. Dieng. Then J. Ponceau gave way to S. Ducourt in the 74th minute, when the guests were desperately trying to level the score. Meanwhile, Nantes made the third and fourth substitutions in the match in the 86th minute: F. Mollet and P. Chirivella came on for C. Traore and M. Sissoko, respectively. However, the hosts held on until the final whistle and won 1-0, leaving them in a good position in the Ligue 1 table.
