Monaco Stages Comeback to Draw 2-2 Against Nantes in Ligue 1 Thriller

Nantes relinquished a two-goal lead as Monaco's second-half resurgence secured a point, keeping them in third place in the league standings.

  • Nantes initially led 2-0 with goals from Matthis Abline in the 12th minute and Kelvin Amian early in the second half.
  • Monaco responded quickly, with Breel Embolo scoring in the 52nd minute and Mohammed Salisu equalizing seven minutes later.
  • The dramatic final moments saw Nantes captain Nicolas Pallois clear a shot off the line and Moses Simon hit the crossbar for the hosts.
  • The draw lifted Nantes to 14th place, moving them out of the relegation zone, while Monaco remained in third, two points behind Marseille and nine behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
  • Monaco missed the opportunity to close the gap on second place and could potentially drop out of the automatic Champions League spots depending on Lille's result against Auxerre.
