The match between Strasbourg and Nantes on Saturday was a closely contested affair, with both teams fighting hard to come out on top. However, it was the visitors who emerged victorious, securing a crucial victory that will go a long way towards improving their relegation chances.

Despite being the home side, Strasbourg struggled throughout the game, failing to create any real opportunities for themselves. On the other hand, Nantes played with confidence and determination, creating numerous chances and scoring two goals in the second half to take control of the match.

The first goal came early in the second half when a well-taken free-kick from Nantes' captain, Benjamin Mendy, found the back of the net. The second goal came moments later when a quick counter-attack saw Nantes striker Youssouf Yussou score his fourth goal of the season.

Strasbourg's struggles continued into the second half, as they failed to mount any serious challenge for the away side. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to find the equalizer and conceded a third goal late on, sealing the victory for Nantes.

With this win, Nantes moved up to fifth place in the league table, just three points behind Strasbourg. This result is a significant boost for the team, as it puts them within touching distance of safety and could help to ease some of the pressure on manager Claude Puel.

For Strasbourg, however, the defeat is a bitter pill to swallow. They have been struggling all season and this loss could be a turning point in their campaign. It will be interesting to see how they respond and whether they can turn things around before the end of the season.
