In a commanding display, Nantes secured a 3-0 victory over Montpellier with clinical efficiency, marked by their early dominance. Nantes scored within the first 18 minutes, setting the tone for the rest of the match. Their second goal at the 31-minute mark further cemented their advantage. The home team's ability to convert chances was pivotal, showcasing effective finishing. Nantes' third goal in the second half highlighted their sustained pressure and Montpellier's defensive vulnerabilities.

Nantes' dominance was further reflected in their set-piece efficacy, with seven corner kicks compared to Montpellier's two. This statistical advantage indicates how Nantes controlled key attacking opportunities and maintained pressure on Montpellier’s defense. On the contrary, Montpellier struggled to mount a meaningful counter-offensive, evident from their limited corner kicks and the absence of goals. Their lack of potency in disrupting Nantes' setup hampered their ability to gain a foothold in the game.

Discipline played a significant role in the outcome, as both teams accrued yellow cards, although Nantes received three to Montpellier's one. However, Nantes successfully managed to avoid a red card and maintained their composure despite the early yellow cards they received in the second half. Montpellier's single yellow card suggests a more conservative defensive approach but failed to translate into effective resistance against Nantes' offensive onslaught. The balance of fouls, with Nantes committing 13 to Montpellier's 8, reflects both tactical aggression and strategic boundary-pushing by the home side, enabling them to destabilize Montpellier's rhythm without crossing critical disciplinary thresholds.
