A sixth game in a row without a victory. Versailles, which has not won since the first day (4 draws, 2 defeats), failed to revive in this National championship, facing Valenciennes (1-1), relegated from L2 still undefeated.
It’s a habit. Since the start of the championship, Versailles has never been able to host at home, on a Friday evening, the “normal” box for the National. This time, it was PSG – Rennes at the Parc des Princes this Friday which forced the Versaillais to bring forward the reception. Obviously, this was felt, once again, in terms of attendance.
Accompanied by members of his family, Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly, minority shareholder of Versailles (10%) was nevertheless present in the stands of Jean Bouin, for the second time since his entry into the capital of the ambitious Versailles club at month of March. .
On the field, Versailles broke free in the first period thanks to a penalty converted into two stages. His goal counter still stuck at zero, Samy Baghdadi had attempted a “Panenka” but it landed on the bar. Ibrahim Karamoko followed well and celebrated in the best possible way his contract extension (until 2026) made official on Wednesday.
But after a save from a big strike from Flammarion (50th), Sébastien Renot can do nothing about the rush from Oyewusi (5th goal of the season), who left his side to equalize (1-1, 56th). The VA goalkeeper, Jean Louchet, was decisive by winning his duels against Freddy Mbemba (62nd) then Baghdadi (70th). After this draw, Versailles will remain in the 2nd part of the table while waiting for the other matches of this 7th day.
This Friday evening (7:30 p.m.), Paris 13 Atletico, now bottom red, travels to Bourg-en-Bresse. The Parisian club signed two new offensive players this week. The experienced Lenny Nangis (30 years old), played in Caen, Lille, Bastia, Valenciennes (89 L1 and 50 L2 matches), Greece (Levadiakos), Norway (Sarpsborg), Belgium (RWD Molenbeek) and Nancy . And also the young Nicolas Mercier (21 years old), on loan from Auxerre (L1).
