Le Mans 0-1 Nantes w/ video
A disappointing result against Nantes. But looking at the highlights it looks like Nantes was creating more chances and threatening more. But in the end it was the one PK that gave Nantes the win.

Daisuke Matsui came on in the second half, but no luck!

Oh, and here's something a little fun. I think the first time we (in Japan) have actually heard Matsui speak French on camera. The club has hired a tutor for Matsui and the two other non-French speakers in the team to get lessons 3 times a week, but Matsui himself has said that it's difficult and languages are not his forte.

(He said he was happy about the result and the goal, and he wants to keep it up.) The rest of the interview he switched to Japanese via the translator.
