On loan from Rennes, the young Loum Tchaouna (19) nevertheless opened the open scoring by registering his first but with the pros on a service from Alex Dobre (11th).

During the fateful session Mickaël Le Bihan missed the target, before Zargo Touré and Yanis Chahid came up against Jordy Claveau. Omar Daf’s group is in the woods.
Bastia is doing well
After the early expulsion of the middle of Prix-lès-Mézières (N3) François Borgniet, one would have thought that Bastia would easily make the difference. But the Corsicans were pushed into a penalty shootout, which they finally won thanks to a clear round from the shooters (0-0, 4-2 on tab). Zacharie Boucher notably rejected an attempt.
Pajot offers himself a triple
In the fight to stay in Ligue 2, Annecy had no problem beating the Diable Noir de Combani, an R1 club from Mayotte (8-1). Ahmed Kashi opened the scoring (10th) before an improbable hat-trick from Vincent Pajot (24th, 45th, 65th), who unlocked his counter with the Haut-Savoie club. On loan from Strasbourg, Moïse Sahi Dion scored twice, from the penalty spot (34th) then from a cross from Pajot (71st). Zakaria Bengueddoudj also participated in the festival with a double (84th, 88th).
