In their defence, Nantes' five-game run without a win was fairly understandable when you consider that it contained games against PSG, reigning champions Lille and second-placed Marseille.

The table-toppers required two late goals to beat them at the Parc des Princes, the champions could only manage a draw at home and Marseille were kept to a narrow 1-0 win, despite Nantes being reduced to 10 men.

Those results may even have built in confidence in the squad and, either way, their recent persistence paid off on Sunday when they ended the winless streak away at Lorient.

It took Les Canaris until the 83rd minute to break down their struggling hosts, but Wylan Cyprien's turn and finish into the bottom corner was enough to secure a 1-0 victory and give Antoine Kombouare's men breathing space in mid-table.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

在防守方面，南特的五场不败是可以理解的，因为他们要面对的是巴黎圣日耳曼、卫冕冠军里尔和排名第二的马赛。

在王子公园球场，卫冕冠军马赛队在比赛临近结束时攻入两球，最终以1比0险胜南特队。

这些结果甚至可能建立了球队的信心，无论如何，他们最近的坚持在周日结束了在洛里昂的不败纪录。

莱斯卡纳利斯队直到第83分钟才扳平东道主，但塞浦路斯人的进球足以确保1-0的胜利，并给了安托万·孔布瓦雷(Antoine Kombouare)的球员在中场的喘息空间。
