Interrupted for ten minutes by their supporters, then reduced to nine, the Montpellier lost 3-0 against Nantes on Sunday afternoon (19th day of Ligue 1).
In crisis, Montpellier suffered its fourth loss in a row in all competitions, at home against Nantes this Sunday (0-3), and a new humiliation in an already heavy climate. Téji Savanier’s teammates are two points from the red zone, while the Canaries, with this fifth game without conceding a goal and this convincing success, confirm that they are back in this new year.
Agricultural bombs and Girotto’s firecracker
This match was unlike any other. While the locals had started the game very well, like Elye Wahi’s attempt on Alban Lafont (8th) or the amount caressed by Valère Germain (11th), their ultras first interrupted the meeting with kicks. smoke bombs thrown on the meadow, translation of a fed up vis-à-vis the heartbreaking services delivered by their club in recent times. After a quarter of an hour of dead time, Romain Pitau’s men came out of the locker room with the same intentions but Wahbi Khazri upset their plans with a very dangerous gesture on the rookie Nathan Zeze (seventeen), for a card direct red (42nd). This did not prevent Mamadou Sakho from getting a huge chance (45th + 3), but the punishment came later, in the middle of seventeen minutes of additional time, when Andrei Girotto scored a goal from elsewhere 30 meters (45th + 13).
Wahi loses his nerves
The second period did not start on such incredible bases but shortly after the hour mark, Elye Wahi was warned for simulation in the area: result, red and end of the match at nine against eleven for the Héraultais. After that, Omlin had to revise a high-class parade in front of Pedro Chirivella (74th), Christopher Jullien was very close to bringing the two teams tied for the lead (79th) but the Yellow and Green ended up taking the upper hand definitively : first by Mostafa Mohamed, who made the break with all his class of scorer after a big miss from Mamadou Sakho (81st), then by Ludovic Blas, scorer from the right at the exit of a one-two with Sébastien Corchia (84th). In short, an afternoon of misfortune for the MHSC. And it’s far from the first.
