On the road to maintaining National 3, the US Chantilly had to win, this Sunday, April 24 at home, against the Valenciennes reserve.
She did not miss this meeting by signing a short but precious victory (1-0). Because five days before the end of the season, the “Greens”, still ranked in 12th place synonymous with relegation, have returned to two points from Pays de Saint-Omer (9th) and one point from Vimy (10th) and Croix ( 11th).
Enough to give a smile to their coach Yacoub Yassine, despite his expulsion in added time for being too vehement on his bench, according to the referee of the meeting. “
It is an extremely important success. In our current situation, we had to impose ourselves. We weren’t pretty to see in the game, but we were able to win with other weapons.

It was above all on the athletic level that his team responded to the young Valenciennes reservists who were not used to being jostled in this way. Chantilly however quickly wasted an opportunity to open the scoring, with a missed penalty, Benatmane hitting the post (10th).
Bouchard saves a penalty
Valenciennes (b) would have the same opportunity at the start of the second half. But the Nantes goalkeeper Bouchard started on the right side and stopped Kalai’s shot (52nd). However, in the process, Sofiane Benatmane was going to catch up. The former Beauvais striker, who arrived this winter from the Bourgogne stadium, sent a crushed shot that Assane Touré tried to extend, without touching it, which surprised the northern goalkeeper Sy (55th)
This single goal was enough for the happiness of Chantilly to win the victory it needed.
