Every weekend, Le Parisien invites you to analyze and decipher the results of the various Ile-de-France clubs. The end of the season is near and there is a stake at all levels. The program for this last weekend in April was lighter than usual since D1 Arkema and N3 were taking a break. In National, the shock derby between Versailles and the Red Star will take place on Tuesday May 2 at the Michel-Hidalgo stadium in Saint-Gratien. All eyes were therefore on the National 2 and in particular, the “final” of group A between Racing CFF (2nd) and Rouen (1st). But Racing remains two points after its draw (0-0). In group B, status quo after the defeats of Fleury (1st) and FC 93 Bobigny (2nd), in Besançon and Lusitanos Saint-Maur.
The poster for the weekend: penalty not whistled and crossbar, Racing lacked success
Racing CFF remains two points behind Rouen in group A of National 2. To hope to go up to National, Guillaume Norbert’s team will have to achieve a faultless performance over the last 4 days (trips to Saint-Malo and Caen, reception de Guingamp and Saint-Pryvé) while hoping for a faux pas from Rouen.
In front of 2,500 people, including nearly 900 Rouennais on Saturday at Versailles, Racing’s fire attack was rather contained by the leader’s defense (0-0). Much better in the second half, Racing could have forced the decision but the referee did not whistle a penalty for a foul on Arnold Vula in the area (72nd) and Sosthène Bah touched the bar at the last minute (90th) . The Ciel et Blancs were unsuccessful. Only consolation, they keep the advantage of the particular goal-average on Rouen (2-2 to go).
The flop: Fleury and FC 93 Bobigny beaten
It’s the status quo at the top of Group B of National 2. The first three all lost on Saturday. The leader Fleury lost (1-0) in Besançon but his follower, FC 93 Bobigny, did not know how to take advantage of it. Christophe’s team fell heavily (4-1) to Lusitanos Saint-Maur, taken over last week by Aderito Moreira. And fortunately for the two Ile-de-France teams, the 3rd Épinal, surprisingly sank at home against the last, the Reims reserve. 4 days from the end, Fleury still has a 2-point lead over Bobigny and 3 over Épinal.
La perf: the resources of Sainte-Geneviève
Manu Dorado’s group really has great mental resources. Now deprived of 7 players until the end of the season after the heavy sanctions of the FFF on Thursday (two years of suspension for Quentin Barcelo, ten games for Zanga Koné, Adrien Fleury, Raoul Junior Delgado, Damien Furtado, Abdelhak Benaniba and 8 for Noui Laïfa), forced to go into exile 185 km from his home in a field adjoining the Licorne stadium in Amiens, Sainte-Geneviève managed to beat Belfort (1-0), one of his direct opponents for the maintenance in group B of National 2. This goal of Salya Touré (1-0, 15th) allows the Essonne team to pick up one point from the peloton of non-relegation.
The player: Patrick Koffi (Lusitanos Saint-Maur)
Patrick Koffi finishes very strong this season. The Lusitanos Saint-Maur striker scored twice on Saturday against FC 93 Bobigny (4-1) and brought his total to 7 goals. He could even have scored a hat-trick but missed a penalty. In the last 5 games, he scored five goals. At 21, the American is in the process of relaunching his career with the Lusitanos where he signed in September after terminating his last year of contract with Paris FC.
On March 6, 2020, at 18 at the time, he made his big debut in L2 with Paris FC in a match at Troyes (1-1), the last of the season before the Covid. He then signed a 3-year professional contract with Paris FC and René Girard used him in the first match of the 2020-2021 season at Chambly (3-0 victory). But after missing a big chance, Koffi was sent off. The turning point of his young career. Then appeared once in L2, he had been loaned to Créteil (National) last season where things went very badly. Returning to the PFC in December 2021, he had remained with the reserve (N3).
The number: 5
For the honor, Paris 13 Atletico won their 5th victory of the season (2-0) Friday at Borgo in the duel of the dunces of National thanks to goals from Ylan Gomes (2nd goal of the season) and Oumar Sidibé (3rd goal of the season), both also scorers last week against Nancy (2-2). The Parisians will therefore have beaten Borgo (4-0 and 2-0) and Bourg-en-Bresse (2-0 and 1-0) twice as well as Red Star (2-0) this season. If it goes down to N2, the P13 will therefore not finish last and can hope to gain a place by passing Le Puy (16th) in the last 3 games of the season.
Among young people: the dream is in motion for FC 93 Bobigny
The dream is on for the U19 Nationals of FC 93 Bobigny. Winner of Sochaux (2-1) thanks to goals from Thomas Dylan Longue Nsombe and Samir Saib this Sunday in a late match, Karim Mazeghrane’s team consolidated their 3rd place in group B. An already remarkable performance for a promoted side to professional training centers. But the season could be even better with a historic qualification for the play-offs. FC 93 has indeed returned to a point behind 2nd, Troyes. If he wins in Nancy next week, he could afford a small final with the 2nd qualifying place at stake against Troyes at home on May 14 during the last day of the regular season.
