This is the seventh consecutive league game without defeat for FCR, which is now seven points clear at the top of the National league.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils had a slow start in the first half hour. Villefranche took advantage of this. Leye opened the scoring by converting a cross from Sba\u00ef (0-1, 20&#8242;). The same Sba\u00ef, well positioned in the box, saw his shot narrowly deflected by Mendy (39&#8242;). In the meantime, FCR had seen Seydi leave the field (replaced by Ba-Sy, 23&#8242;) and change their system at the half-hour mark. It was a decision that paid off, as the end of the half saw Rouen come out stronger, with Ba-Sy pushing up the field but being denied by P\u00e9an (34&#8242;). This dominance at the end of the half was rewarded with a goal from Abi, who scored with a beautiful pivot shot (1-1, 44&#8242;). FCR then came close to taking the lead. Bassin missed the target with a shot from a powerful cross by Egny (45+3&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p>After the break, the first few minutes were again played at a slow pace. Then Rouen launched their first attacks. Ba-Sy (57&#8242;) and Bassin (58&#8242;) forced P\u00e9an into two fine saves in quick succession. The Caladois goalkeeper stretched again to save an attempt by Genton (74&#8242;) and then pushed away a cross-shot from Rocha (78&#8242;) with his foot. However, P\u00e9an was powerless to stop another attempt by Ba-Sy! Our striker found the net with a powerful strike from the edge of the box to give Diochon a 2-1 lead (84&#8242;)! The winning goal gave FCR a seven-point lead at the top of the National league!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match report<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Saturday, November 1, 2025<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Robert-Diochon Stadium<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>FC Rouen 1899 &#8211; FC Villefranche:<\/strong> 2-1 (1-1)<br \/>\n<strong>Referee:<\/strong> Mr. Chapapria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attendance:<\/strong> 6,193 spectators.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goalscorers for Rouen:<\/strong> Abi (44&#8242;), Ba-Sy (84&#8242;);<strong> for Villefranche:<\/strong> Leye (20&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yellow cards for Rouen:<\/strong> Genton (30&#8242;), Ba-Sy (74&#8242;); <strong>for Villefranche:<\/strong> Louzif (39&#8242;), Sba\u00ef (60&#8242;), Ahamada (77&#8242;), Camelo (91&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>FC Rouen 1899:<\/strong> Axel Temperton \u2013 Dany Goprou, Sofyane Bouzamoucha, Formose Mendy &#8211; Valentin Fuss (Mbock, 66&#8242;), El Hadji Guiry Egny (Ndeke, 83&#8242;), Enzo Genton (Cartillier, 83&#8242;), Kenny Rocha, Cl\u00e9ment Bassin (cap.) &#8211; Idrissa Seydi (Ba-Sy, 23&#8242;), Charles Abi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Substitutes:<\/strong> Antonin Cartillier, Amara Tour\u00e9, Amadou Ba-Sy, Jason Mbock, Noah Ndeke.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coach:<\/strong> R\u00e9gis Brouard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FC Villefranche:<\/strong> Sullivan P\u00e9an &#8211; Hamza Sba\u00ef, Ethan Kena Kabeya, Lucas Camelo, Nathan Dekoke (cap.), Kemryk Nagera &#8211; Raouf Mroivili, Anfane Ahamada (Valentim, 78&#8242;) &#8211; Mourad Louzif (Thoumin, 70&#8242;), Babacar Leye (Sylla,61&#8242;), Kenny Mixtur (Testud, 78&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Substitutes:<\/strong> Titouan Wilzius, Enzo Valentim, Keba Sylla, Kevin Testud, Axel Thoumin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coach:<\/strong> Fabien Pujo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solid and stunning, the Red Devils won against Villefranche at Diochon.
