Clément Condette, him again! Saint-Sernin’s nightmare! When he played at Châtenoy, he was already used to planting one or two goals at Les Violets.
It was not going to be long in coming to the fore. An overflow from Joffrey Pillard, a cross deflected from the head by a Saint-Serninois defender and Clément Condette in ambush at the far post resumes volley for the opening of the scoring (12). Quentin Va alerts Geoffrey Romagon on the left wing.
His center is taken from the volley after a rebound by Anthony Marchal for a hundred times deserved equalizer (21). On a corner shot by Joffrey Pillard, captain Eddy Papillon places a heading which grazes the crossbar of Sabri Abich (32). A final point blank shot from Djingo Sangare came out of the foot by Sabri Abich (40) just before half-time.
This time again, the start of the period will be fatal to visitors. A lost ball in the middle of the field and Clément Condette takes the ball back without asking any questions. His shot inadvertently deflected by Ugo Tavan lobbed Sabri Abich (46).
The Chalonnais would have been able to weigh down the mark without two decisive saves by the captain of Saint-Sernin on point blank shots from Sangaré and Condette (51, 60).
The last opportunity goes to Jérôme Lemond whose cross shot does not surprise Paul Raphanel, the Chalonnais goalkeeper who will have spent a very quiet second half (89). Jérôme Lemond was injured during stoppage time. In the first period, it was Geoffrey Romagon. The Violets did not need that before an important trip to Stade Auxerre next Saturday. A day without for a match that we expected better!

Samuel Belorgey, FC Chalon coach : “It’s a victory in the face of difficulty. This is normal because Saint-Sernin offered something interesting in the first half. My players lacked impact. We only had two points, which is not what we expected at the start of the season. We doubt, I shook them at half-time. We can kill the game first. The victory is logical, Saint-Sernin showed nothing in the second half. “
Jean-Baptiste Gereau, Saint-Sernin trainer : “It’s a disappointment. It is played on little things. Condette has two balls, he scores two goals, one of which is from a blocked shot. We are irregular, we are able to do very interesting things like last week, both in intensity and in application. Today, we do not find the ingredients of last week. We will try to bring something back from Stade Auxerre.
