Le Débrief Express | Spécial National 3 | 25e journée

This weekend in National 3, some Normandy clubs achieved their objective, others remain in contention, while for some, their last hope vanished. In Group C, in what resembled a "promotion" final, AF Virois (2nd) were held to a 0-0 draw in front of their home crowd by GSI Pontivy (1st). As a result, Tony and Robin Théault's players are still three points behind the league leaders. To reach the higher division, they now need to win away at Ergué-Gabéric (13th) while hoping for a home defeat for Pontivy against Vannes (9th). The Bocage club would then be promoted thanks to a superior overall goal difference. Meanwhile, US Alençon (12th), victorious on the pitch of AS Vitré (2-1), can still dream of staying up; The "Green and Blacks" are only one point behind Stade Rennais' reserve team (11th), currently in the first non-relegation position. Everything will be decided on the final matchday, with Saint-Pierre Milizac (10th) and Vannes OC also in contention. In Group D, AS Trouville-Deauville-Villers (12th), defeated by their neighbor SU Dives-Cabourg (3-1), must win against AS Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône (11th), their direct rival who are two points ahead. Despite their victory, and considering the results of their rivals, SU Dives-Cabourg is officially relegated to R1, unless they are reinstated if they finish 12th. Returning from their away match against CS Brétigny with three points (2-1), Stade Malherbe's reserve team secured their survival, which was already guaranteed before kickoff. In matches with nothing at stake for them, Le Havre Caucriauville drew against FCM Aubervilliers (0-0), while CMS Oissel lost to Sainte-Geneviève FC (2-0). Goals, highlights, standings... Catch up on the essentials from Matchday 25. Enjoy the show.
