National: Versailles recovers, the Red Star worries

The three Ile-de-France clubs, which played at home this Wednesday during the 9th day of the National, had varying fortunes with a victory, a draw and a defeat.

What you must remember

After 3 games without a win, FC Versailles won at the expense of Le Mans in a Jean-Bouin stadium which sounded hollow with only 350 spectators. Manhandled at the start of the game by the Manceaux who touched the upright by Rossignol (6th), the Yvelines club made the difference in 5 minutes thanks to a superb strike from Djoco (1-0, 22nd), then a goal from close by signed Plum tree (27th). After the break, Le Mans shifts into high gear. Rossignol shoots on the upright (71st) before Vargas Rios reduces the score on a blocked shot (2-1, 78th). But thanks to a controlled end to the match, Versailles obtains a precious success. The former Rennes and Saint-Etienne Fabien Lemoine proved to be invaluable in the midfield. Solid, the ambitious promoter resumed his march forward by recording his 4th success (plus a draw) in 5 games in the Stade Français rugby stadium. Two days after yet another arrival, that of former Toulousain Matthieu Dossevi, FC Versailles jumped in the standings by climbing to the podium 3 points behind Concarneau and Dunkirk.

At the Bauer stadium, the Red Star tripped over the carpet against Bourg-en-Bresse (0-1). Showered by the opener of the Bressans score in the first period, the Audoniens fought back during the second act but came up against a solid opposing defense. A strike from Doucouré narrowly missed the equalizer by hitting the post (57′). After an excellent start to the season, the formation of Seine-Saint-Denis, 7th in the standings, is marking time with only one victory on the clock since 6 games (three draws and two defeats). Far from the passing times of a contender for the rise in L2.

After 3 defeats, Paris 13 Atletico stopped the bleeding by snatching a draw (1-1) against Puy, a direct candidate for maintenance. Led to the score in their Boutroux stadium, the Parisians took advantage of the expulsion of an opposing player to equalize thanks to the substitute Etondé. But they failed to glean their first success at home and remain in the red zone (16th) 4 lengths from the first non-relegable (Le Mans).

The player: Captain Djoco

Despite a highly competitive game sector with in particular a Dutch international (Jeremain Lens) and a former L1 player (Rachid Alioui), Kapitbafan Djoco demonstrates match after match that he is essential on the attacking front at FC Versailles. Generous and altruistic on the pitch, the former goleador from Aubervilliers was once again decisive. He first opened the scoring with a splendid strike (22nd) before delivering a caviar to Prunier (27th). Author of his 3rd achievement, the 27-year-old then gave way to Brun with the feeling of accomplishment.

The sentence: Youssef Chibhi, coach of Versailles

“I’m satisfied with the result because we showed maturity and also an abundance of energy. We have an experienced team that has put a lot of value and quality into it. »

The number: 0

Like the number of victories obtained by the Red Star this season in its lair of the Bauer stadium. The candidate for the rise in L2 lost in the derby against Paris 13 Atlético (0-2) then conceded a draw against Martigues (2-2) before falling again this evening against Bourg-en-Bresse . The Audoniens have only one success at home. It was August 19 against Villefranche (1-0) but the meeting took place at the… Duvauchelle stadium in Créteil.
