The Nigeria international opened the scoring in the 24th minute, converting from the penalty spot for his second goal of the season. Senegal international Konate then levelled proceedings for Dijon in the 54th minute after he was set up by Gabon international Ibrahim Ndong. The draw helped Nantes to end their recent unimpressive form after two consecutive losses to Olympique Marseille and Strasbourg. Simon featured for the duration of the game while his teammate and Algeria international Mehdi Abeid played for 63 minutes before he was replaced by Randal Kolo Muani. Konate, on his part, was on parade for 76 minutes in his seventh appearance this season before making way for Alex Dobre.
