Substitutes Spark Strasbourg to Road Win Over Nantes

NANTES, France (March 22, 2026) (Interstat) — Substitute Max Oyedele led a second-half comeback as RC Strasbourg Alsace defeated Nantes 3-2 in a Ligue 1 match Sunday at Stade de la Beaujoire.

Strasbourg’s Dehmaine Assoumani opened the scoring in the sixth minute, but Nantes responded with goals from Matthis Abline and Joaquín Panichelli to take a 2-1 lead. Oyedele, who entered as a substitute, equalized in first-half stoppage time and then assisted Panichelli’s decisive second goal in the 78th minute. Panichelli added a late insurance goal in stoppage time.

The result defied a pregame projection that favored Strasbourg with a 63.9% win probability. Strasbourg begins its league campaign 1-0, while Nantes starts 0-1.
