Marked by an action of the 17 National clubs united, the 15th day was rather mixed for the two representatives of the National. If Paris 13 Atletico had the merit of snatching a draw in the 89th minute against Nîmes (1-1) at the Pelé stadium, Versailles continues to sink with a third defeat in a row at Bourg-en-Bresse. In the ranking, Versailles is 14th (15 pts) just ahead of Paris 13 Atletico 15th (14 pts). If the Parisians were prepared to maintain their position, the Versaillais were looking upwards.
Paris 13 Atletico players will be able to go on vacation without being relegated. The Parisian club, penultimate budget of the National, is in the match to maintain two points from 11th (Le Mans) and ahead of Villefranche (16th at one point) and Châteauroux (17th at 5 pts).
Led by a sequence from Oussama Abdeldjelil (ex-Red Star, Paris FC) whose shot was deflected by Moussa Diarra (79th), the P13A did not give up and equalized thanks to a penalty from Abdelsamad Hachem (1 -1, 89th), his fourth goal of the season. Goalkeeper Germain Sanou stood out again by being decisive on Ismaël Camara's point-blank shot (70th).
This is only the third time this season that Paris 13 Atletico has managed to take a point after conceding the first goal. But when the final whistle blew, there was still frustration and even anger in the Parisian ranks regarding some rather questionable decisions by the referee, supervised by his boss Anthony Gauthier. Scorer Abdeldjelil should have been sent off at the start of the match and two penalties could have been awarded while the score was still 0-0.
It's great to sell jerseys internationally and create a buzz with your new outfits. But football is first played on the pitch where the Versailles players no longer respond. Sanctioned on appeal with a 10,000 euro fine by the DNCG at the start of the week, Versailles continues to sink with a new defeat conceded to Bourg-en-Bresse on a goal by Guédé Nadje at the end of the match (1-0, 72nd).
Jordan Gonzalez therefore experienced a very difficult return to Bourg-en-Bresse, a club he left in January 2024 to join Lyon and its Academy (U 19). Since his arrival at Versailles where he signed a very long-term contract, his balance sheet has been catastrophic with three defeats in three National matches and an elimination in the Coupe de France at L'Union Saint Jean, a club which plays three divisions below .
Versailles is only two points ahead of Villefranche, first relegation. The month of January will set the tone for what this very disappointing team will be able to achieve despite rather substantial resources.
