Like last season, Le Parisien invites you to analyze and decipher the results of Ile-de-France clubs. The weekend was almost entirely devoted to the 6th round of the Coupe de France with a few matches of N2, N3. The female D1 made its return after the international matches.
The weekend poster: it’s already over for Versailles
Semi-finalist of the Coupe de France last season, Versailles was beaten on penalties (4-5) in the clash of National against Red Star at the Michel-Hidalgo stadium in Saint-Gratien. Damien Durand had opened the scoring for Red Star (3rd) then Versailles had equalized on an own goal from Loïc Kouagba (44th). On penalties, William Avognan, Ludovic Butelle’s usual understudy in goal for Red Star, stopped Pierre Gibaud’s last attempt at Versailles… who had worked for Red Star a few years ago.
After the turmoil of the last few days with the dismissal of Jean-Guy Wallemme and Sébastien Robert, the other National club, Paris 13 Atletico led by Namori Keita (general manager of the club) qualified for the VGA Saint -Maur (2-0) thanks to goals from Moustapha Cissé and Jordy Kaloukadilandi. This is the first time in its history that Paris 13 Atletico has reached the 7th round of the Coupe de France.
The feat: Paris 15 AC leaves Créteil
Huge sensation at the Charles Rigoulot stadium (Paris XV). Resident of R2, Paris 15 AC released Créteil which evolves three divisions above. Led quickly, the Cristoliens had managed to equalize thanks to a penalty from Daouda Gueye (77th). But the team from the 15th arrondissement snatched a historic qualification thanks to a penalty in the 89th (2-1).
The number: 9
There should be a 9th level club (1st district division) in the 7th round of the Coupe de France. After an incredible scenario Marcoussis-Nozay-La Ville du Bois, agreement of three communes of Essonne, eliminated Suresnes (R2) after being led 3-1. Marcoussis-Nozay-La Ville du Bois took the lead (4-2) in the penalty shootout. But on the 4th attempt at Suresnes, confusion reigned. The ball returned despite the stoppage of the goalkeeper, the public invaded the field and the referee gave the victory to little Thumb. But Suresnes will file reservations.
The sentence “A scar that will have to be closed quickly”
Stéphane Masala coach of Créteil: “We are extremely disappointed, not only with the elimination, but also with the way. We made mistakes that cost us dearly. We will have to review the actions on video but, on the first goal, we make a placement error and do not manage the depth well. On the second, the opponent is alone against two players and we manage to get him this match point in the 90th. We are touched. It was an important match and leaving this competition at this stage is a big disappointment. It remains a wound and a scar that will have to be closed quickly.
History: Racing says goodbye to Colombes
Nostalgia sequence for Racing and its supporters on Saturday in Colombes. Guillaume Norbert’s team played for the last time at the Yves-du-Manoir stadium in its current configuration before its transformation to host the field hockey events during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Racing will end the season at the Montbauron stadium of Versailles. Facing Chartres where Jean-Pierre Papin was probably playing his last match on the bench before joining OM as an adviser, Racing preserved its invincibility (2-1) thanks to goals from Merwan Ifnaoui (53rd) and Venuste Baboula (79th). Racing (5 wins, 2 draws) temporarily seizes the chair of leader of group A of National 2 (it was the only match played this weekend) with two points ahead of Rouen and Poissy.
The player: Mathilde Bourdieu (Paris FC)
Led twice by Reims on Friday evening at Charléty, the Paris FC girls showed character to come back to 2-2 and preserve their invincibility (3 wins, 2 draws) and their podium behind Lyon and PSG. A determination symbolized by Mathilde Bourdieu, author of a double (43rd, 77th) with a second goal with a superb strike. The 23-year-old striker, a physio student, brings her total to 3 goals this season.
Among young people: the Montfermeil box
Montfermeil continues to fly over group A of the national U19 championship. Undefeated leader (8 wins, 1 draw), he crushed Reims (5-1) with goals from Aboubakar Diaby (44th), Modibo Keita (48th, 69th), Bilal Merouga (65th), Andrei Ciobanu (89th).
