Dolberg completed his brace in the 29th minute after goalkeeper Alban Lafont fumbled a shot from Thuram-Ulien. Three minutes later, Toure pulled one goal back for the hosts in the goal-laden first half. He guided Moses Simon’s corner-kick past goalkeeper Walter Benitez. In the second half, the hosts came out stronger – albeit, they were unable to get the much-needed equaliser owing to profligacy in front of goal. Ultimately, they were punished for that as Nice returned home with all three points. Nigeria's Simon and Mali's Charles Traore were in action for Nantes from start to finish but Traore’s compatriot, Kalifa Coulibaly was introduced in the 68th minute.
