The Red Star won calmly against Cholet at the end of the 11th day of National (2-0), Monday. The Ile-de-France residents took time to get the measure of the match and were saved by their bar on a header from Tom Renaud (10th). But once this downpour passed, Habib Beye’s players entered their match and quickly stung by Merwan Ifnaoui.
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder concluded a nice move with a powerful volley from the left (29th), before recovering a ball in the opponent’s area to serve Kemo Cissé, who made the break with a half-volley from the left ( 36th). Protected, the Red Star retained its control over the match to win quietly and consolidate its leadership position. And is now 8 points ahead of Niort, its runner-up.
Avranches scrapes to a draw in Rouen
In the other meeting of the evening, Rouen and Avranches parted with a goalless score, in a match lacking in creativity (0-0). The Rouennais may regret their lack of realism, with several missed opportunities by Christopher Ibayi (27th, 59th) and Farès Ghedjemis, very restless (31st). The promoted team, fourth after 11 days, can at least be satisfied with having extended their unbeaten streak, now six matches long.
