Ligue 1: Moses Simon’s wonder goal seals big win for Nantes;  Akor Adams struggles with Montpellier

Super Eagles forward Moses Simon scored the solitary goal for Nantes in their 1-0 victory over Rennes at the Stade de la Beaujoire, Soccernet.ng reports.

Simon kept his starting shirt in Nantes’ starting eleven for their game against Rennes on Sunday. Before the game, the Nigerian forward already had a decent start to the campaign with three goals and four assists. And he was the main man for Nantes heading into the fixture.

The first half was quite balanced, as both teams shared the possession equally and had the same number of goal attempts. But none of them was able to break the deadlock. However, the Yellow Canaries got an advantage just before the break, as Mikayil Faye got sent off for a poor tackle.

That changed the trajectory of the game, as Nantes bossed the second half. Simon even had an opportunity to score in the 65th minute after getting the ball in the box. Unfortunately for him, he just dragged his shot wide.
