It was only a business meeting and it won’t bring him anything in terms of accounting. But, after three defeats in a row in the National 2 championship, C’Chartres Football stopped the bleeding with a good 2-2 draw against Créteil, this Friday, February 17, at the Jacques-Couvret stadium.
Deprived of several elements (Barry, Lemarié, Picot, Abdoulaye Fofana, Haddadou and Bru) for this meeting where their coach Pierre-Yves David shared the playing time, the Chartrains put on the intensity and offered some interesting sequences in a 4-2-3-1 with the return of Noireau-Dauriat.

They led twice against the fourth in group D of N2, still in the race for accession with only six points behind Bobigny. First thanks to a header from Archimbaud on a cross from Villette (1-0, 26 ‘). Then with Diallo’s first goal in the colors of the CCF following a counter drive by Gagnon on the left side (2-1, 63 ‘).
But, too friable, the CCF was joined each time. Gueye took advantage of Sékou Fofana’s loss of the ball to beat Cahart in a duel (1-1, 54′), then Bessomen adjusted the goalkeeper with a powerful shot from the right (2-2, 75′).
The Euréliens, who could have benefited from two penalties, almost snatched victory at the end of the game on a header from Arnaud, but the ball came crashing into the post (83′).
C’Chartres Football goes sportingly straight towards the National 3: the video reaction of coach Pierre-Yves David
“On what we had mentioned, defending while advancing to give dynamism and connect the attackers to the game, the working session was fruitful, even if I would have liked the ball to travel a little more in the corridors on this difficult terrain, analyzed the Chartrain coach. Afterwards, I would have liked us to be able to win this match … “
Maybe he will win the one against Châteaubriant, in a week, on February 25 at home. This time, it will be about the championship and giving yourself a little reprieve…
