One was aiming for a first victory, the other was in search of confirmation.
If the Red Star failed again, Créteil confirmed his good start to the season by picking up a point away during this 5th day of National.
The Red Star can't do it at Bauer
Against Villefranche, also looking for a first success, the Red Star started with striker Benjamin Gomel, who arrived Monday from Lens (L 1).
But this offensive reinforcement did not allow Vincent Bordot's men to find the opening.
Worse, the defense which had reassured after the inaugural slap against SC Bastia (3-5) cracked on two “murderous” cons of Injai 67th) then Garita (90th).
The draws in Boulogne (1-1) then against Le Mans (0-0) had nevertheless led to believe in a burst.
Sainte-Luce touches the crossbar, Michel the post!
The Red Star has twice touched wood at the Bauer Stadium.
In the first period, Maxime Sivis, on the left, finds Théo Sainte-Luce on the penalty spot but the head of the 20-year-old loaned player by OGC Nice (L 1) is diverted to his crossbar by goalkeeper Lucas Caruso (27th).
At the very end of the match, Diego Michel, alone in the axis, wraps his shot which bounces off the right post.
It was not the evening of the Audonians.

The first Créteil point outside
Créteil's previous trip ended in a defeat at Avranches (2-0).
Undefeated at home (2 wins, 1 draw), the Cristoliens have, this time, traveled well by reporting a good draw (0-0) from the Balmont stadium in Lyon.
Confirmation of their good start to the season.
But SC Lyon (ex-Lyon-Duchère) remains one of Créteil's pet peeves since it has now been 7 consecutive games that they have not beaten the Lyonnais in the National.
An ability to adapt after the injuries of Martins and Buaillon
Since the start of the championship, Carlos Secretario has made very few changes in his eleven type.
But in Lyon where Fred Bong evolves, trained in Créteil and ex-captain of Paris FC in L2, the Portuguese coach had to adapt twice during the match.
First after the rapid exit on injury to Martins (28th).
Buaillon took a step back and replaced him at the left-back position.
But the Cristolian captain was injured in his turn in the thigh (70th).
But these two changes did not destabilize the Créteil collective which contained SC Lyon to the end despite a slightly more difficult second period.
In the end, Veron will have been very little worried.
