Coupe de France: Nantes beats Nice (1-0) and wins its ticket for the Europa League


The Canaries obtain their qualification for the next group stage of the Europa League with this coronation. FC Nantes won the 4th Coupe de France in its history by beating Nice (1-0) this Saturday evening in the final at the Stade de France.

Nantes won by the smallest of scores thanks to a goal scored on penalty by Ludovic Blas in the 47thth minute.

Despite a slight domination of the Niçois in this meeting, with 59% possession of the ball for the Aiglons, FC Nantes was able to make the difference after returning from the locker room.

On a penalty caused by a hand in the box from Hicham Boudaoui, 24-year-old midfielder Ludovic Blas propelled the ball right in the middle under the bar, leaving the opposing goalkeeper helpless due to an early dive.

After 1979, 1999 and 2000, Nantes won its fourth title in this national cup on Saturday, allowing it to qualify directly for the European Cup next year.

Prior to this meeting, violent clashes broke out between supporters of the two teams near the Gare de Lyon this Saturday morning. A total of 39 arrests were made by the police on the outskirts of the Paris train station, according to a source familiar with the matter for CNEWS.
