One win and two draws.
The three Ile-de-France representatives of the National have started their season rather well.
What you must remember
In front of 2,973 spectators (free entry),
Versailles
set the Jean-Bouin stadium on fire by snatching victory in the 93rd minute (2-1) against Martigues.
The seduction operation worked.
It was Mondy Prunier, the Haitian international striker transferred from Rouen (N2) for around 150,000 euros who proved decisive.
Just before, Melvin Vieira had saved on his line (90th) In the first period, Versailles had opened the scoring thanks to one of the 7 rookies lined up at the start, Thibaut Jaques (1-0, 21st) but was quickly done join on a penalty from the ex-pro of Rennes and OM Foued Kadir (1-1, 27th).

By opening the scoring with a fine shot from the skylight by Damien Durand, who remained at the club despite many requests at the start of the second half,
the Red Star
had done the hardest part.
But everything went wrong with two penalties conceded in the 83rd and 86th.
But Fred Dembi, one of the rookies, arrived from Orleans snatched the draw (2-2, 93).
Josh Wander the owner of 777 Partner who bought the club had traveled to Brittany to attend the match with president Patrice Haddad.
Paris 13 Atletico
, one of the smallest budgets of National (1.6 M€) negotiated well its move to Châteauroux, the biggest budget (7.5 M€).
Jean-Guy Wallemme's team, well organized with a central three-man defense, proved to be solid.
On a free kick, Yanis Barka could even have scored (68th).

The player: Germain Sanou (Paris 13 Atlético)
The Paris 13 Atletico goalkeeper had a great performance in Châteauroux.
The 30-year-old Burkinabe international preserved his team's draw, making several decisive saves, including a penalty (81st).
Sanou had already been one of the architects of the rise in National last season.
The competition with Didier Desprez (ex-Lens, Paris FC), on loan from Charleroi (D1 Belgium) who injured his knee during preparation looks interesting.
The number: 3
The minute of added time that allowed Versailles to win against Martigues (2-1) and Red Star to snatch a draw at Saint-Brieuc (0-0).
The reaction
“The scenario is favourable.
The team that wanted the win the most won.
It was important to start the season well at home with a victory.
There is positive pressure.
We are expected.
Seeing so many people is galvanizing.
But we still have steps to take.
