00:00So Montpellier hoping to get their first victory of the season, just one point from two matches
00:07so far in that 6-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, a bit of a setback, but it's going very smoothly
00:16so far. Four points on the board, no goals conceded.
00:21Here's Montpellier looking to build for first attack.
00:35Sacco comes out right back for them.
00:39Darnoff in Montpellier who's already been capped by Cameroon.
00:46Now the shot comes in and it was an awkward one for Lotho to deal with in the end.
00:52Now this was Coulibaly.
00:55A fierce hit that took a touch off Zezé on its way through to the keeper.
01:01And an old goalkeeper doing well there to react.
01:05Good hit and a good save.
01:13The ball back at the feet of Moses Simon who is back in action for Nantes this season.
01:21Oh what a strike! What a goal that is!
01:26Mati Sabline.
01:30What a way to open the scoring.
01:34Nantes paid so much money for this young striker over the summer.
01:41That is one of the sweetest strikes you will see.
01:47An absolute cracker has Nantes in front.
01:51It's the first goal of the season for Sabline.
01:54The 21-year-old got five on loan from Rennes last year.
02:00It's 1-0 Nantes in Montpellier.
02:04Coulibaly.
02:12That's a good strike. It's filled by the keeper.
02:15And there's the equalizer.
02:21Matt Moore-Adams gets Montpellier level.
02:30Well just what the home team needed.
02:33Their own front man has done the business.
02:39Laforte couldn't keep hold of that shot.
02:44Jordan Ferry with the strike.
02:46Adams, the Nigerian, snapping up the rebound.
02:50Eight goals last season.
02:52His first in French football.
02:55And he's off the mark for the new campaign.
02:59Just dipped on the keeper a little bit.
03:02And Adams was on the spot to make it.
03:04Montpellier won.
03:06A couple of late red cards for Montpellier in that one as well.
03:10One-all draw back in April.
03:12Moses Simon.
03:14Oh that's a super save.
03:25One or two appeals for handball there from the Nantes players.
03:31And Benoit Milot has been called across.
03:40And one or two Nantes players were adamant.
03:47There was a handball in here.
03:50It's Coulibaly.
03:53Arm close enough to his body.
03:55He could be in trouble here.
03:59Coulibaly for Nantes.
04:04Simon against Lecourt.
04:11Nantes lead.
04:132-1 to the visitors.
04:15And it's Moses Simon who has scored from the spot.
04:24Well the crowd falls silent.
04:27And the halftime whistle sounds.
04:30And a well taken penalty from Simon.
04:34Back after breaking his leg at the end of March.
04:42And he scores from open play last week.
04:46From the penalty spot this time.
04:49And it is Montpellier 1, Nantes 2 at the break.
04:55So the first football match is over ladies and gentlemen.
05:03Welcome back ladies and gentlemen.
05:05And the second half is about to start.
05:08You're watching Benz Sports.
05:13Second time in this match.
05:15A wonder goal from Oblien.
05:17Cancelled out by Adams.
05:19Then Moses Simon with the last kick of the first half.
05:22Giving Nantes the lead.
05:24And they continue their unbeaten run the visitors.
05:27And they get seven points from nine.
05:32And a foul by Thomas.
05:35Chips on a cross.
05:37The down didn't look all that comfortable.
05:39But he's chasing it out here.
05:43Molang is doing well.
05:57Almost.
05:59At the back post there.
06:01Unity for Nantes.
06:03And it was Simon.
06:06Fayad.
06:08Sakho.
06:10And there's Palwa again.
06:12And again.
06:20He's a very promising player.
06:23Needs to show some of his qualities in the final few minutes here.
06:28Barely was caught late.
06:31Marcus Coco gets a yellow card for this one.
06:36Very late that time on Jordan Ferry.
06:42Coming a long way again.
06:43Kasri.
06:44Oh, he's hit it.
06:46Right into the arms of the keeper.
06:58Well, that's a nice pass through.
07:00The chance to seal it.
07:05No way, no way back for Montpellier.
07:08It is 3-1 Nantes.
07:11And just like last week, it is a substitute.
07:15Who has got the insurance goal.
07:20This team have been pretty comfortable in this second half throughout.
07:26And this was a beautiful pass from Kadawari.
07:29What a weight there was on it.
07:34Yeah, about that.
07:35For a two-touch finish as well.
07:37Mohamed taking it quickly.
07:39No chance for the keeper.
07:41Montpellier 1, Nantes 3.
07:57On paper in this.
08:01Oh, that's a good save.
08:04Lefonte shoveling that one away.
08:06And he's traveling at pace.
08:09Payaz.
08:11Couldn't find a way through.
08:12Then there's a foul after that.
08:16And this is Modibo Sanyo with the hit.
08:19Lefonte.
08:20Jordan Ferry.
08:22Not happy with something that happened behind the goal.
08:33He's got a yellow card I think for that.
08:47And the match is over.
08:48Nantes have just won 3-1 against Montpellier.
08:52With this victory, Nantes climbing up to the first place on the table.
08:56On the other side, Montpellier is the 16th place of that one.
