The Egyptian forward, who was introduced as a substitute in the 70th minute, made an immediate impact to secure all three points for the Canaries.
A Hard-Fought Victory for Nantes
Facing a Lille side known for its defensive resilience, Nantes had to remain patient in search of an opening. Both teams battled for control throughout the contest, with chances limited on both ends.
However, Mohamed’s late strike proved decisive, rewarding Nantes for their persistence and tactical discipline.
