NANTES, France (Interstat) — Paris FC opened its Ligue 1 season with a 2-1 comeback victory at Nantes on Sunday, Jan. 18, 2026, overcoming an early deficit. The result defied pre-match projections that favored the hosts.

Ilan Kebbal, a second-half substitute for Paris FC, equalized in the 50th minute and assisted on Luca Koleosho’s 78th-minute winner. Both goals came after Nantes forward Matthis Abline had given the home side a sixth-minute lead at Stade de la Beaujoire.

The match featured six yellow cards, split evenly between the teams. The victory gives Paris FC a winning start in league play, while Nantes begins its campaign with a loss.
