\"MajeedMajeed Waris has been in fine form at Nantes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ghanaian Star Majeed Waris has made his 100th appearance milestone in the French Ligue 1.<\/p>\n

The former FC Porto forward, after ensuring Paris Saint-Germain suffer a second successive defeat by a 3-2 lost, Waris scored to inspire Nantes on Wednesday.The lost held the Ligue 1 Conforama leaders PSG to halt to still wait to clinch the 2018\/19 title.<\/p>\n

After Sunday’s shock 5-1 loss at LOSC Lille, PSG were still expected to claim the point that would clinch them the title as they travelled to the Stade de la Beaujoire where they had not lost since 2004.<\/p>\n

No fewer than nine first-team regulars, including the suspended Marco Verratti, the injured Neymar Jr, and the rested Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, were missing while coach Thomas Tuchel, serving a touchline ban, was consigned to the press stand, and Nantes \u2014 victors over Olympique Lyonnais last time out \u2014 sought to take advantage to wipe away their top-flight survival doubts. Kalifa Coulibaly, who opened the scoring against Lyon, might have done so again had Gianluigi Buffon been caught cold by the rangy striker’s header after he had brushed past Presnel Kimpembe \u2014 PSG captain for the night \u2014 to reach a Charles Traor\u00e9 cross (13′). Leandro Paredes’ through ball for Moussa Diaby gave the young striker an opportunity to put the visitors in the driving seat, but after rounding Maxime Dup\u00e9 in the Nantes goal, he could not force the ball home (16′).<\/p>\n

Instead, it was a man at the opposite end of his career, Dani Alves, who did so. It was another collector’s item from the Brazil international, who \u2014 after receiving the ball from Paredes \u2014 sent a delicious lob over Dup\u00e9 from all of 30 metres (19′).<\/p>\n

Nantes, a precarious nine points above the bottom three at kick-off, had kept just two clean sheets in their previous nine home games, so conceding was no surprise; given they had also failed to score in just one of their last 12 outings at the Beaujoire, the fact they hit back quickly was equally to be expected. The scorer was less likely. Diego Carlos had found the net just three times in 91 Ligue 1 Conforama games, but the Brazilian centre-back added to his tally with a back-post header after escaping the attention of Stanley N’Soki (23′). Edgar I\u00e9 stepped across to snuff out any danger Diaby might have posted (36′), and the young forward then stretched Dup\u00e9 (38′), but it was Nantes who moved ahead before the break.<\/p>\n

Thilo Kehrer was caught out by Coulibaly, who moved into the box before picking out Samuel Moutoussamy \u2014 the midfielder miscued his shot, but it served Majeed Waris perfectly, and the Ghana international finished from close range (44′) to celebrate his 100th Ligue 1 Conforama appearance in style.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
