FCR suffered its first loss of the season in Ligue 3 Betclic. The Rouen team conceded three goals in the first half in Caen and was unable to mount a comeback after the break.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After an intense start to the match on both sides, Caen quickly took the lead. On a corner kick by Botella, Appiah scored with a header (1-0, 8′). Ten minutes later, the FCR thought they had equalized through Tchokount\u00e9, off a cross from Diaby (18′). But the goal was disallowed due to a handball by Mendy at the start of the play… The pace didn\u2019t let up after that, but chances were few and far between. Before halftime, El Khoumisti found himself in a good position, but Maraval made a perfect save (38′). Then, the pace picked up in the closing minutes of the first half. The duo responsible for Rouen\u2019s first equalizer sprang into action again. Diaby accelerated and set up Tchokount\u00e9, who found the back of Cl\u00e9mentia\u2019s net (1-1, 45′). But that late goal wasn\u2019t the last of the first half. Gnanduillet, first set up by Bolumbu and then played in deep, scored twice in stoppage time (2-1, 45+3, then 3-1, 45+7). FCR headed into the locker room trailing by two goals…<\/p>\n

After the break, the pace slowed. And Rouen couldn\u2019t get the game going to close the gap. A nice play set up Mendy for a one-on-one with Cl\u00e9mentia. He missed the target (54′). A penalty was called for on this play, following a challenge, for a foul by the goalkeeper. The referee didn\u2019t blow the whistle. Five minutes later, Karamoko took a shot from the edge of the box, but it was saved (59′). After that, scoring opportunities were few and far between. Brouard made all five of his substitutions. Two substitutes helped the FCR narrow the gap. Tramoni set up Viana, who dribbled past Cl\u00e9mentia and scored (3-2, 92′). The Red Devils then tried to come back. To no avail. Rouen suffered its first loss of the season but remains ahead of tonight\u2019s opponent in the Betclic Ligue 3 standings.<\/p>\n
