Sylvinho is having a tough start at Lyon. It has now been six consecutive Ligue 1 games without a win, not good enough for a team wanting to be in the Champions League.
Lyon were once again poor in front of goal and they now have a week which could be decisive for the coach's future. Leipzig and St Etienne await.
It was not until the second half when Nantes managed to go in front. Gourcouff's men once again showed defensive solidity and they have conceded just five goals in eight matches.
The first half an hour of the match saw both teams feel each other out. From then on, Lyon took a step forward and tried to score a goal, but they were unable to.
Nantes were lucky to get the three points. Despite hardly reaching Lyon's area, they managed to score. Moutoussamy's shot deflected off Marcal before going into the goal.
Nantes' title dreams are still very much alive. They are now top of the league and it will stay that way if both PSG and Angers lose.
