Discover the tops and flops after the first seven matches of the 12th day of National, with Nancy who never stop falling, Épinal who obtains its first success or even Rouen, new runner-up to Red Star.
The tops
Rouen new dolphin
While waiting for the clash of the 12th day of National 1 scheduled for Monday between the leader, Red Star, and Niort, second in the ranking before the weekend’s matches, Rouen took second place on the podium by winning largely at Châteauroux (0-3), Friday November 3. Norman goalkeeper Axel Maraval first deflected a penalty at the start of the match before Ghedjemis (31st), Ibayi (62nd) and Abdelmoula (82nd) ensured Rouen’s success. FC Rouen thus puts pressure on Red Star and especially on the Chamois Niortais before their match on Monday.
First for Épinal
Épinal initially believed that the first victory of the season would not yet arrive during this 12th day of National 1. On the Nîmes pitch, Épinal conceded a goal after only 17 seconds of play before reacting and finally winning with a score of 3 goals to 1 in Gard. This first victory of the seasonafter 4 draws and 7 defeats, will do well for the Spinaliens, who however remain last in the ranking with 4 points behind the 17th, Nancy.
Les flops
Nancy continues to sink
AS Nancy Lorraine definitely cannot do it. Benoît Pedretti’s ASNL thought they could hold their third victory of the season on home soil against another historic French football club, Sochaux, after a goal from Gomel (70th). But that was without added time and Malcolm Viltard, author of a superb shot curling into the top corner from twenty-five meters (90th +2) to snatch the draw (1-1). A result that drags the Lorraines in penultimate place of the rank.
Goal rechute
On the pitch of a direct competitor for maintenance, Cholet, Goal FC has fallen back into its mistakes losing by the smallest margin (1-0) Friday evening. After having managed to beat Nancy last week, which allowed them to leave the red zone, the Lyon club, currently 13th, remains under threat and sees Cholet, 15th, return to a small point in the ranking, like Marignane- Gignac (14th) and Châteauroux (16th). Nancy, 17th, is only two points away.
