After leaving Olympique de Marseille (OM) to get more playing time, he seems to have found his place at Montpellier. In the 26th round of matches, Ngapandouetnbu achieved another clean sheet, contributing to his team's victory against Nancy.
The match, which took place on Friday, saw Montpellier win with a score of 3-0. Nathanaël Mbuku quickly opened the scoring in the 9th minute, setting the tone for the rest of the match. Montpellier dominated the first half, leaving Nancy with few opportunities to react.
In the second half, Montpellier maintained the pressure. Enzo Honoré scored the second goal in the 76th minute, followed by Alexandre Mendy in the 81st minute, sealing Montpellier's victory. Ngapandouetnbu was solid throughout the match, securing his goal and preventing Nancy from getting back into the game.

In the 23 matches he has played this season, Ngapandouetnbu has achieved 8 clean sheets and conceded 20 goals. His performances are a major asset for Montpellier in their quest for a higher place in the league.
Born in Cameroon, Ngapandouetnbu signed for Montpellier on August 7, 2025, after spending several years at OM and being loaned to Nîmes. A Cameroonian international, he has also been selected in the youth teams of France.
