Clermont Foot had to settle for a draw (2-2) against AS Nancy Lorraine in the 30th round of Ligue 2 on Friday, April 10, 2026. Despite being dominant, Clermont’s players once again made too many mistakes to hope for a win.
Clermont Foot had the opportunity to make a big impact in the relegation race. But the matches are starting to look the same for them. Dominate and create the best chances, they once again undermined their chance of success with individual errors and settled for a draw (2-2).
The first half for Clermont Foot is the perfect example of the team’s struggles this season. Terrible lack of realism and errors that cost dearly. Despite creating at least five opportunities, the only goal credited to Nancy’s team came in the 21st minute. Brandon Bokangu capitalizes on a lightning-fast counterattack and breaks the deadlock (0-1).
Status quo in the standings
The second half brings hope for Clermont Foot. In the 50th minute, Ivan M’Bahia equalizes by converting a free kick deflected by Johan Gastien. Fired up, Clermont’s players take control of the game. Less than 5 minutes later, they take the lead thanks to Enzo Cantero’s dribbles in the box and Ilhan Fakili’s finish.
It’s now 2-1 for Clermont Foot, but once again this season, they shoot themselves in the foot. In what seemed like a harmless counterattack, Ivan M’Bahia fails to clear the ball and doesn’t see Brandon Bokangu behind him punishing the team (2-2).
The other results of the night only add more regrets. Their direct rivals for survival, Laval and Amiens, also failed to win. Stade Lavallois drew and remains 5 points behind Clermont. Meanwhile, Amiens lost at home and conceded a point to Clermont.
