CONCARNEAU, France (Interstat) — Shelton Guillaume came off the bench to score two second-half goals in a five-minute span, powering FC Versailles 78 2 to a 2-0 upset victory over Concarneau in a National 1 match Friday afternoon at Stade Guy Piriou.

The result defied pregame projections, as statistical models heavily favored the home side. Interstat’s ELO system gave Concarneau an 83.10 percent probability to win, while its game simulator had predicted a 1-1 draw.

Instead, Versailles, the visiting side, delivered a disciplined defensive performance before capitalizing on its chances after the break. The match was a physical contest from the outset, with three yellow cards issued in the first half-hour. Versailles’ Djibril Khouma was booked in the 15th minute, followed by teammates Samir Ben Brahim and Sohan Baldoni in the 27th and 28th minutes, respectively.

The game remained scoreless until just after the hour mark, when manager Sofian Benzouien’s substitutions changed the match. Guillaume, introduced as a substitute, broke the deadlock in the 64th minute. He doubled the lead just five minutes later, sealing the victory with a quick brace.

The assists on both goals came from fellow substitutes, highlighting the impact of Versailles’ bench. Djibril Khouma provided the assist on Guillaume’s first goal, while Samir Ben Brahim set up the second. Forward Sohan Baldoni was also credited with an assist on one of the tallies.

Concarneau, playing at home, was unable to mount a sustained offensive threat or find a response to Guillaume’s quick strikes. The shutout marked a disappointing start to the domestic campaign for the Brittany-based club.

With the win, FC Versailles 78 2 begins its National 1 season with a record of one win and no losses. The club’s overall record across all competitions also improves to one win and no losses. Concarneau starts its season with a record of no wins and one loss in the league, mirroring its overall record.

The match was part of the opening fixtures for the 2025-26 National 1 season, France’s third-tier professional football league. The victory provides FC Versailles 78 2 with a significant early-season boost, securing three points on the road against a favored opponent. For Concarneau, the loss represents an immediate setback as it aims for promotion back to Ligue 2.
