At the Bonal stadium, US Concarneau traveled to a big name in French football, which is in the top 10 for cumulative seasons in D1/L1, FC Sochaux Montbelliard. The Thoniers went there with the flattering status of leader of this National, but distrust was necessarily in order. In a balanced duel, the difference was only made on a set piece in the 35th minute. It was Sochalian, with the two players who had the most matches in Ligue 1, the winger and ex-captain of RC Strasbourg, Dimitri Liénard, who with his left paw, on a corner, found Mathieu Peybernes, the ex- player from SC Bastia or Lorient. The Doubiste's outstretched leg deceived Esteban Salles. The latter was also unfortunate because after a scuffle in the 45th minute, he was excluded from this match, just like the local, Drammeh (45'+2).
Legend: US Concarneau fell on a bone this Friday evening in Sochaux.
At 10 against 10, and trailing at half-time, Concarneau went very close to 2-0, on an acceleration from Macalou, excellent in his percussion with velocity and speed (like on the first goal before the corner). His rush, after overtaking Bamba, found Corentin Jean, alone within six meters. The ex-Troyen and Toulousain did not have the expected efficiency, and hit Antoine Philippon's crossbar (63'). Concarneau had gone orange, but was still in the race to take something away from Bonal.
The Concarnois could even have benefited from a penalty on a charge in the area, on a slalom by Gabriel Tutu (75'). Apart from this possibility, the Concarnois were unable to break up a very solid opposing defensive block (only 6 goals conceded in the first 10 championship matches). The big victory of AS Nancy at Le Mans (0-3) gave first place to the Lorraines, Concarneau remains 2nd in this championship and will host next Friday, another former Ligue 1 team, Dijon FCO.
