It was the largest trip in number of Paris FC supporters in recent years.
The 300 or so Parisian fans present at the Licorne were able to celebrate this success in Amiens (2-1) with their players.
The tap on the shoulder of President Pierre Ferracci to his trainer Thierry Laurey on the lawn spoke volumes about the satisfaction that invaded the entire Parisian camp.
Good news has indeed arrived from Valenciennes who beat Sochaux (1-0).
Paris FC is back in front of the Sochaliens in 4th place.
A rank that would allow him to receive at the Charléty stadium during the first play-offs on May 17.
On condition of beating Grenoble on Saturday during the last day.
What you must remember
As he had announced, Thierry Laurey had built his team already thinking about the May 17 play-offs.
Under the influence of a yellow card which would deprive them of this first match of the play-offs, Khalid Boutaïb and Morgan Guilavogui started on the bench while several players were revived by finding a starting place (Bernauer, Hadjam, Gory) in order to give them playing time. With this somewhat experimental team, Paris FC found it difficult to settle their game. his team in the first half.
He intervenes on strikes from Akolo (7th, 35th).
Offensively, Paris had been far too messy to hope for better.
!
Paris FC will need you on Saturday against Grenoble 🔥
🎯 Goal?
Keep this 4th place!

But as soon as the recovery, on a corner of Moustapha Name, Samir Chergui places his head at the near post (0-1, 51st).
The central defender scored the first goal of his career in L2.
With this new assist, Name is involved in his team's last 5 goals (2 assists, 3 goals).
Finally conquerors, Paris FC takes shelter thanks to the first goal of the season from its captain Cyril Mandouki on a cross from Florent Hanin (0-1, 71st).
Two executive players who had just come into play after starting the match on the bench to be spared.
Laurey's turnover and coaching have therefore been successful.
But Paris FC could not help but be scared after the reduction of Badji's score (1-2, 79th).
He also may have lost his midfielder Mahamé Siby, limping out low (89th).
Player: Samir Chergui
Last week, Samir Chergui had inadvertently caused the first goal of Valenciennes by missing his pass back from the head to his goalkeeper Vincent Demarconnay.
The central defender “redeemed” himself by opening the score with a header from a corner.
This is the first of his career in L2.
Defensively, he also put in a solid performance, clearing many hot balls.
The figure: 12,999
The crowd for this match without real stake.
For Amiens' last game of the season at home, the Unicorn stadium was sold out.
The leaders of Amiens had practiced a rather advantageous pricing policy (seats at 5 euros) and invited many clubs.
But it was the 300 or so Parisian supporters who made themselves heard the most throughout the match in their parking lot.
The North Kop of Amiens was doing him, curiously "strike"...
