The DFCO wanted to rediscover the taste of victory, after two draws and a defeat in the championship. It's done! Under thick fog, in front of nearly 6,000 people announced at Gaston-Gérard, the “Reds” won 1-0 against FC Rouen, Friday November 1, 2024, for the 11th day of National. A lively match, rich in emotions and opportunities, on both sides. In the ranking, the DFCO is doing well: 7th, four points behind second, Concarneau, which Dijon will face… next Friday.
What a suspense!
The outcome could have been completely different. Dijon goalkeeper Paul Delecroix makes some decisive saves, in the air and in one-on-ones that end on the ground. At the end of the game, FC Rouen missed two big chances in the area. In stoppage time, following a corner, the Normans even had a goal disallowed – for an offside position. But the score could also have been more important in favor of the DFCO. In the first period, Souici, Marié and Vargas-Rios hit above. In the second, Parsemain came close to doubling the lead, as did Lembezat, who saw his shot deflected off the post.
Coach Baptiste Ridira mainly remembers two things: the victory and the fact of not having conceded a goal. On the other hand, he regrets not having killed the match. “We could have worsened the score, we could have taken some distance and made the break, we didn’t do it and we remained at the mercy of this Rouen team,” notes the technician, regretting despite the success a certain number “technical errors” potentially harmful.

ON VIDEO – Parsemain’s goal
The hero of the evening on the Dijon side: Alexandre Parsemain, attacker of the weakest attack (and best defense) in the championship. At the half-hour mark, the 22-year-old striker received a cross from the left from Djaé, following a well-taken counter-attack from Souici. Parsemain scores his second goal of the season – joint joint top scorer for the club with Mendy.
