The Red Star went through all the emotions in the last minutes of this penultimate day of National still totally crazy. Pushed by his hundred supporters at the Gaston-Petit stadium in Châteauroux, Habib Beye's players had finally managed to score on a center of Damien Durand taken over by Jovany Ikanga (0-1, 87th), two entrants. This is the 9th goal for the child of the club, revelation of the season. But in extra time, Concarneau snatched victory against Bourg-en-Bresse (3-2, 90th + 4). A game-changing goal for Red Star.

Winner of Orleans (3-1), Dunkirk is the new leader on equal points with Concarneau. Red Star, 3rd follows by two points, tied with Martigues, the former leader who suffered an incredible defeat at the last Borgo (3-0).

It will be necessary to win against Saint-Brieuc in Bauer

The last day promises to be tense. Dunkirk which will go to Le Mans and Concarneau which will go to Orleans, two teams already saved, have their destiny in hand. One win and they will both be in Ligue 2. The Red Star, which has the advantage of the particular goal-average over Dunkirk but not on Concarneau, will therefore have to beat Saint-Brieuc, 15th but who can still save themselves, while hoping for a misstep of the first two. Not a simple scenario but this end of the season has already held so many surprises that everything still seems possible.

"The boys dominated the game overall, they showed a lot of selflessness to get their destiny," said Habib Beye. On June 30, 2022, when training resumed, I told the players that this championship would be played at the last minute of the last day on May 26, 2023. If we're still here, it's fantastic. This end of the championship is going to be incredible. We are very happy because they only take care of us. We wanted a final, we got it. Our season is already magnificent, of course we would now like the apotheosis, to go up to L2 which is the objective of the club. We have to punctuate this season with a victory against Saint-Brieuc and then we will see what happens. As I told the boys, we will get what we deserve. But we will offer ourselves a week of work where everyone will be focused on a goal. »
