Nantes held in goalless stalemate

Nantes were held to a 0-0 Ligue 1 draw at Bastia.The result does little for either team's pursuit of qualification for the Europa League, leaving Nantes in eighth place and three points behind the top four, and Bastia in 10th with 39 points, two fewer than their visitors.Bastia's Sefo Fofana tested Remy Riou in the 18th minute, forcing the goalkeeper to dive to his top right to save.In a largely even affair, Nantes were the slightly more positive but came little closer than Yacine Bammou seeing his shot saved by Jean-Louis Leca on the stroke of half-time.
