Ligue 1: Simon Bags assist helps Nantes claim big result against PSG

Super Eagles forward assisted Nantes’ first goal, as the Yellow Canaries embarrassed star-studded Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at the Stade de la Beaujoire, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Laduna Born player Moses Simon located Kolo Muani, who was lurking in the box, and the French forward fired home to put Nantes in front just after four minutes. Before PSG could recover, Nantes increased their lead to two goals, as Quentin Merlin poached the Yellow Canaries’ second of the game in the 16th minute. Just two minutes into the second half Neymar pulled a goal back for PSG off an assist from Lionel Messi. PSG had another glorious chance to reduce the deficit after they were awarded a penalty but Neymar saw his effort saved on 59 minutes by Alban Lafont. Mbappe missed another superb opportunity when a loose ball fell his way seven yards out and Nantes keeper Lafont was again on hand to turn away a late strike from Julian Draxler. Simon was very influential in the first half with an assist, one shot, three chances created and 2/3 successful crosses, with 74 percent pass accuracy. The victory takes Nantes to 5th on the Ligue 1 log, the Europa Conference League playoff spot.
