Big stoppage.
A week after having launched its season with a success at Épinal (1-2), the Red Star hoped to take advantage of its trip to the lawn of another promoted, GOAL FC, to confirm its status as favorite for the climb and continue . But the Audonians had a much more complicated evening than expected this Friday, as evidenced by the extent of their setback (3-1). The Lyonnais showed their cold realism and it would have taken more than a late goal from Cheikh Ndoye to prevent them from securing the first victory in their history in National. At rest last week, while waiting for Sochaux to be fixed on its fate – the Lionceaux will finally evolve in this championship in 2023-24 -, Versailles believed it was off to a good start on the ground of Martigues. Except that Amine Hemia and Samir Belloumou responded to Mondy Prunier’s opener and the Yvelinois are therefore still fanny (2-1). Unlike Châteauroux, which unlocked its counter by dominating Niort (2-0).
GOAL FC leads 3-0!

Caught up by Martigues on Monday (1-1)Nîmes experienced a similar scenario at the end of the week, this time in Rouen (1-1). Same disappointment for Nancy, who led twice in front of Épinal, before having to resolve to share the points with her neighbor from the Vosges (2-2). Villefranche took the best of Cholet at the buzzer (2-1). Avranches, finally, signed the card of the evening against Marignane-Gignac (3-0).
If he wins in front of Dijon on Monday (6:30 p.m.), Le Mans will be the only team with six points in two days. And therefore a leader, of course.
