AS Monaco and Nantes have played out a goalless first half in their Ligue 1 clash at the Stade Louis II this evening, as both sides look to push themselves into a Champions League qualifying position.
Nantes sought to test the hosts early on in the encounter as Alejandro Bedoya took aim from distance, only to see his effort fly high and wide of the goal without troubling Danijel Subasic.
The visitors troubled again in the eighth minute, this time as Serge Gakpe forced a smart stop from the Monaco keeper with a dangerous effort that was kept out at the top-right corner.
Monaco looked to the counter as one of their options and it almost paid off when Bernardo Silva broke away at pace, but young forward Anthony Martial fired wide from the right side of the box.
Despite holding the majority of the ball, Monaco failed to do much with it, as Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco showed his frustration with a wild effort from range, which failed to threaten as the sides went into the interval level.
