Boulogne and Orléans miss first place in National, Paris breathes – National – J17 – Summary

Friday, nothing is allowed.

A fashionable Friday evening « 1,2,3. Soleil ». Almost status quo in the National after the three Friday matches. At the opening of the 17^e day, Boulogne or Orléans could have taken first place from Nancy, but remained very polite. They will be second and third next week.

Like its neighbor Dunkerque in Ligue 2, Boulogne is well placed in National, but not first. The Boulonnais conceded a draw (2-2) against Dijon, solid fourth. The little dribbler Théo Epailly, trained at PSG, got in well on his right foot to open the scoring (1-0, 27^e), but Alexandre Duville-Parsemain, a week after his show against Châteauroux (two goals and an assist), responded to him in the second half (1-1, 55^e). A seven-minute flurry later, Abdel Hbouch then Jules Meyer scored on both sides. 2-2, final score.

Orléans misses the boat

Orléans, which has not experienced Ligue 2 since Covid, could then take the throne, but nay: the Sang et Or du Center remain third. In an amputated region of Tourangeaux and without Bourges or Blois, he leaves alive a valiant local: Châteauroux. Under the mist of the Source, the Castelroussins de Cris did not change their tune in the first period. Almost no chances, and total defensive excitement, embodied by the quiet goal of Fahd El-Khoumisti, left alone at the far post after a textbook action (1-0, 19^e). Returning this summer to the club that launched him into the pros, the 31-year-old striker became the National's second top scorer. Alone at the far post, Leverton Pierre dusted off Berri (1-1, 57^e). Châteauroux suffocates. He remains last and still hasn't won since mid-September.

In the middle of the table, Paris 13 Atletico moved away from the red zone against the Reds of FC Rouen. Under the dim light of the street lights at the Pelé stadium and for the home premiere of Bruno Ecuele Manga, Abdelsamad Hachem was well placed to finish a beautiful movement (1-0, 23^e). That's all. Rouen de Brouard is 10^e.

The Champions League will wait.
