D22: Concarneau is back
Friday, February 18, 2022 – 10:39 p.m. – TR
Thanks to their success over Cholet (2-0), the Bretons took advantage of Avranches’ draw at Laval (0-0) to regain first place. Behind, Villefranche, winner at Chambly (2-0), clings.
At this rate, the National’s 2021-2022 season will be exciting until its end. Laval, who remained on seven consecutive successes, was suspended on the lawn of the Francis-Le-Basser stadium by Avranches (0-0). As a result, Concarneau, winner of Cholet (2-0), took the opportunity to regain first place in the standings. The Mayennes and Finisteriens are still in a favorable position for direct accession to Ligue 2. But behind, the resistance does not weaken, like Villefranche-Beaujolais, winner 2-0 at Chambl, and which remains in the race for the rise, with its late game.
The meeting between Boulogne-sur-Mer and Bastia-Borgo has been postponed due to bad weather affecting the North of France. Continuation of the 22nd day Saturday with the reception of Créteil by Bourg-en-Bresse. At the end of Monday, with the trip from Annecy, third, to Red Star.
Classification
CONCARNEAU-CHOLET: 2-0
El Khoumisti propels the tuna boats
Under the leadership of Stéphane Le Mignan, the coach who led Vannes to the final of the Coupe de la Ligue in 2009, US Concarneau continues to perform miracles. The Breton club, which had been the leader between the 16th and 21st day, before being overtaken by Laval, was quick to regain its throne by beating Cholet, 2-0.
Once again, Fahd El Khoumisti weighed in on the final score. The National’s top scorer opened the scoring in the 5th minute. Concarneau did not take shelter only in added time, by Ley (2-0, 90th + 2). This success, the 13th of the season for the Thoniers, demonstrates the character of a group that is determined to live its incredible adventure to the end.

LAVAL-AVRANCHES: 0-0
End of series for Laval residents
It was necessary that the beautiful series stops one day. Stade Lavallois, which remained on 7 consecutive successes, came up against a well-organized Avranches team on Friday evening at the Francis-Le-Basser stadium. The Laval residents missed a penalty (55th) but they could have drunk the cup at the end of the match as well, without a vigilant Maxime Hautbois. In the end, they had to settle for a draw and gave up their first place to Concarneau, due to an unfavorable goal average. The Mayenne will have to quickly digest this setback, all in all relative. During the next day, they visit their neighbors in Le Mans where an influx worthy of the upper floors could well be achieved.

CHAMBLY – VILLEFRANCHE 0-2
These Rhodanians have character
In the race for the climb, FC Villefranche-Beaujolais is far from having given up. Thanks to two goals before and after the break (Élisor, 39′; Dabasse, 55′), the Rhodaniens signed a precious success, which allows them to stay in contact with the leading trio. Conversely, the situation in Chambly is beginning to become critical. The Oise club, which played in Ligue 2 last season, will have to work hard to avoid a second relegation in a row.
Eyes turned to the next meeting 👀

SETE – CHATEAUROUX 0-1
Mexico is Peru…
Short but precious success for La Berrichonne from Châteauroux to Sète. The only goal of the match was scored by Mexico in the 32nd minute of play. Châteauroux, who aims to go back to Ligue 2, thus keeps his hopes intact. But the Indre-et-Loire club will be forced to continue, he who is four points behind with one more match on Annecy, the current third and roadblocker.
SEDAN – LE MANS 2-0
Sedan is amazing
Drafted in extremis last summer after finishing best second of the four N2 groups last season, CS Sedan-Ardennes honors its glorious past week after week and demonstrates that it has its place in the National. Winner of Le Mans on Friday evening thanks to achievements from Fofana (6th) and Keita (60th), the Ardennes are in 7th place. In summary, the maintenance is more than ever on the right track and who knows if they could not create a surprise in favor of a home stretch that they will tackle without any particular pressure. For Le Mans on the other hand, the mounted operation promises to be complicated.
CS Sedan Ardennes doubles the set-piece bet!

ORLEANS – SAINT-BRIEUC 0-0
Orleans stalls again
Zero and virgin score between Orléans and Saint-Brieuc, which really does not help the people of Orléans in the race for the climb. Saint Brieuc, on the other hand, engages an important point in the perspective of maintenance.
