VIDEO | Ligue 1 Highlights: Toulouse vs Nantes
Toulouse is aiming to shake off the label of being the third-worst home team in Ligue 1 in an important match in the battle to escape the danger zone and aim for mid-table, against Nantes, who are the worst second away team in the league but come with the need to pick up points.
Nantes wasted no time in taking control of the ball and scoring a goal just two minutes into the game. Mostafa Mohamed, with a sublime free kick, beat the home goalkeeper to set the tone of the match with the visitors dominating the entire first half. In the second half, they continued to control possession and scored their second goal five minutes after the restart, which proved to be the decisive strike. Although Toulouse narrowed the lead in the 90+5 minute, it wasn't enough.
With this result, Nantes will surpass Toulouse to move away from the relegation zone and aim towards mid-table, while Toulouse will drop to thirteenth position, with the risk of descending even further to fifteenth place and getting closer to the bottom of the Ligue 1.
