Simon's goal was Nantes' first goal of the season after their opening game last weekend against Angers ended in a barren draw.

After the break, Lille resumed the game with intent but were kept at bay by Nantes goalkeeper Alban Lafont who made two wonderful saves from Remy Cabella. Lille then struck the crossbar via a Benjamin Andre.
