FC Nantes had been struggling at the start of the season, with three defeats, including a 2-5 loss at home to Rodez and a 3-3 draw with Guingamp. However, they were able to turn their fortunes around against Nancy, thanks in part to a red card given to Elydjah Mendy in the 32nd minute. This left Nancy with 10 men on the pitch, and Thomas Robinet was able to score the winning goal in the 46th minute.
The win moves Nantes up to 15th place in the Ligue 2 table, and they will look to build on this momentum in their next match.
