Kalifa Coulibaly bags hat-trick as Nantes maul Terre Sainte

Kalifa Coulibaly scored a hat-trick in Nantes’ 6-0 mauling of Terre Sainte on Saturday to kick off their pre-season on an impressive note.

The attacker has only made eight league appearances scoring once for the La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau outfit since joining them in the summer of 2017 owing to injury concerns.

However, the 26-year-old was in top form for Miguel Cardoso’s men scoring in the 60th minute, after Abdoulaye Dabo got the curtain raiser 12 minutes earlier.

In the 73rd minute, Randal Kolo Muani added another goal and six minutes before full-time Coulibaly notched his second.

Batista Mendy then got his name on the scoresheet in the 86th minute before the Malian sealed the victory in stoppage time.

Coulibaly will hope to maintain his form when Nantes take on Olympique Marseille on July 18.
