Issiaga Sylla, left back of Montpellier, lost his mother in the night. He insisted on playing the match against Nantes anyway.

In the 89th minute of play, the former Toulouse player burst into tears, consoled by most of his partners. The match will remain in the memory of the player, who is a 'good soldier', says coach Michel Der Zakarian. The game ended in a 0-3 defeat for Nantes, the 36th matchday of Ligue 1.
