FCR suffered its fourth loss of the season.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Caladois quickly created danger in front of the Rouen goal. Temperton made a save against Leye (9&#8242;), but could do nothing about Louzif\u2019s 20-yard strike into the top corner (1-0, 13&#8242;). Leye then missed the target and the chance to double the lead (20&#8242;). While the FCR was playing better and creating more in Villefranche\u2019s half, the home team doubled their lead (2-0, 33&#8242;). The Rouen side ended the first half in the opposition\u2019s half, sending crosses into the box. But there were no chances for the Red Devils, just as there had been throughout the first half.<\/p>\n<p>After the break, three substitutions were made for Rouen, who started the second half strongly. But once again, the first chance fell to Caladois. Touho shot wide (50&#8242;). The Red Devils then began a siege in the opposition\u2019s half. After several contentious moments in the Villefranche box, a penalty was finally awarded for a foul on Ba-Sy. Ba-Sy himself hit the post, but Seydi followed up and narrowed the gap (2-1, 67&#8242;). Ba-Sy, once again, was denied by P\u00e9an, while in the same play and in the other box, Mixtur had previously hit the post (73&#8242;). P\u00e9an was once again there at his near post a few minutes later (77&#8242;) . The end of the match was frantic with chances on both sides: a scramble that no Rouen player could finish (84&#8242;) and long-range attempts for Villefranche (82&#8242;, 85&#8242;), as well as a one-on-one by Mixtur that went over the bar (94&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match Report<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Friday, March 27, 2026<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Armand-Chouffet Stadium<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>FC Villefranche &#8211; FC Rouen 1899:<\/strong> 2-1 (2-0)<br \/>\n<strong>Referee<\/strong>: Mr. Jamet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goals for Rouen<\/strong>: Seydi (67&#8242;); <strong>for Villefranche<\/strong>: Louzif (13&#8242;), own goal (33&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yellow cards for Rouen<\/strong>: Seydi (10&#8242;), Benzia (23&#8242;), Goumot (45&#8242;), Faye (73&#8242;); <strong>for Villefranche<\/strong>: Etoga (90&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Red card for Villefranche:<\/strong> Testud (96&#8242;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Villefranche<\/strong>: Sullivan P\u00e9an &#8211; Hamza Sbai, Marvin Tshibuabua, Ethan Kena Kabeya, Saidou Ouedraogo &#8211; Mourad Louzif (Etoga, 85&#8242;), Vincent Marcel, Sambaly Keita (Nagera, 85&#8242;) &#8211; Malick Assef (cap.)
