Red Star wants to continue its great start to the season in the National 1 championship. Almost irresistible since the start of the championship with eight victories, a draw and a defeat in ten matches. In the event of success against SO Cholet, penultimate in the standings before the start of the match at Bauer, Habib Beye’s players would then take an eight-point lead over the Chamois Niortais, heavily beaten last Friday on the lawn of US Orléans (4-2). To do this, we must overcome Cholet, who has just changed coaches.
The start of the match is also dominated by SO Cholet, without complexes, who pose a lot of problems for the Audoniens. From a corner, Tom Renaud finds the crossbar of Quentin Beunardeau, beaten instantly. The SOC does not give up and obtains two new opportunities which see the Ile-de-France goalkeeper intervene. After this alert, Red Star managed to make the difference. On a cross from Durand, Merwan Ifnaoui takes from the left to deceive Ousmane Ba (29th), before Kemo Cissé scores a sumptuous goal from outside the left (36th).

Red Star manages but relaxes
In the second half, the Red Star regained control of possession against a valiant team which did great things but which no longer had the means to shake up the solid Ile-de-France team, which went into management mode. Nevertheless, the Cholet team believed in its chances and took advantage of a drop in speed or a relaxation of the opponent to be a little more pressing after the break, but the score was already sealed for the Red Star, who imposes for the ninth time in eleven matches and which has especially resumed its march forward after the draw in Nancy two weeks ago.
Consequences of this success acquired by the residents of the Stade Bauer at home, the Red Star has 28 points and now has an eight-point lead over Niort, a good cushion for Habib Beye’s players, still intractable despite the difficulties sometimes encountered by the Audonian team. Opposite, Cholet remains stuck in penultimate place with nine points but will be able to rely on good passages in this match to build preparation for the next meetings.
