Kalifa Coulibaly’s brace drives Nantes to victory against Amiens

Kalifa Coulibaly scored a brace to lead Nantes to a 3-2 victory against Amiens in Sunday’s French Ligue 1 game.

Following a goalless first-half, the Mali striker broke the deadlock in the 49th minute after he was set by Ghana international Majeed Waris to put the Canaries on the path of victory.

Six minutes later, the 27-year-old doubled his side’s lead after benefitting from Lucas Lima’s assist.

Moments before the hour mark, Valentin Rongier scored the third goal for the host to help Vahid Halilhodzic’s men clinch their 11th win of the season despite strikes from Juan Otero and Cheick Timite.
