Rouen remains undefeated after four games and sits at the top of the table.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils had a strong first 20 minutes, but failed to create any chances despite several corners and promising crosses. The first chance fell to Valenciennes. Temperton made a good save from Baghdadi&#8217;s low shot (20&#8242;). FCR responded fifteen minutes later. Ba-Sy played in Faye, who shot at the VA goalkeeper Louchet (34&#8242;). Rouen were finally rewarded for their good first half just before the break. Benzia scored again with a 25-meter strike (0-1, 43&#8242;)!<\/p>\n<p>Rouen went into halftime with the lead and held on to it until the final minutes of the match&#8230; which were crazy! Valenciennes, who had hit the bar (73&#8242;), first equalized with a penalty converted by Ipi\u00e9l\u00e9 (1-1, 86&#8242;). Rocha, on a pass from Egny, gave FCR a one-goal lead three minutes later (1-2, 89&#8242;). But VA equalized again through Boissier (2-2, 91&#8242;). Was it going to end in a draw? Not at all! Rocha scored with a superb volley to give the Red Devils the win (2-3, 94&#8242;). It was an epic finish and a superb victory before we meet our fans at Diochon next Saturday!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match report<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Friday, August 22, 2025<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Stade du Hainaut<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Valenciennes FC &#8211; FC Rouen 1899:<\/strong> 2-3 (0-1)<br \/>\n<strong>Referee:<\/strong> Mr. Henry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goalscorers for Rouen:<\/strong> Benzia (43&#8242;), Rocha (89&#8242;, 94&#8242;); <strong>Valenciennes:<\/strong> Ipi\u00e9l\u00e9 (pen, 86&#8242;), Boissier (91&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yellow cards for Rouen:<\/strong> Abi (83&#8242;), Mendy (85&#8242;), Brouard (87&#8242;), Bezzekhami (90&#8242;), Bassin (90&#8242;); Valenciennes: Landre (50&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sochaux:<\/strong> Jean Louchet &#8211; Ahmed Diomand\u00e9, Loick Landre, Romain Thomas (cap.), Derrick Abu (Koum, 58&#8242;) &#8211; Mabrouk Rouai (Boissier, 58&#8242;), Alexandre Coeff, Samy Baghdadi (Takaoka, 58&#8242;) &#8211; Stredair Appuah (Courtet, 71&#8242;), Alain Ipi\u00e9l\u00e9 (D.
