Viktor Hallgrimsson leads Nantes to win against Aalborg
Aalborg were clearly in a revenge mood after losing last week at home against Nantes. Especially since the two clubs are battling for what could be a place in the top two of group B.
But one man ruined all their hopes: Viktor Hallgrimsson. The Icelandic goalkeeper made seven saves in the first half, as many in the second, but even more importantly, he made crucial ones. Aalborg, who saw Lukas Sandell take a red card in the first half, could not cope with such an amazing performance.
The Danish side, playing seven against six for most of the game, tried to make a comeback in the second half, closing the gap to two goals before Nantes gained the momentum again in the last ten minutes.
We fought in the first half but missed too many small things to comeback or even win the second half. We are struggling with self-confidence right now and look for positive things. We stood together so at least I’m happy about that.
We worked all week and were ready to be successful in this match. The difference was made during the first 20 minutes. Viktor was on fire and the atmosphere was amazing as usual.
