Nantes fans felt the spirit of former No 9 Emiliano Sala after their side scored a ninth minute opening goal against Toulouse.

Sala went missing during a flight between Nantes and his new club Cardiff and his former side viewed Kalifa Coulibaly's strike in the 2-0 win as a moment that was destined to happen.
