CONCARNEAU, France (Interstat) — Le Puy Foot delivered a commanding away performance to open its National 1 season, defeating Concarneau 3-0 on Friday at Stade Guy Piriou.

The visitors, who entered the match as statistical favorites, controlled the contest from the outset and capitalized on key contributions from their substitutes to secure a decisive victory. The result defied the pregame projection from Interstat’s simulator, which had forecast a 1-1 draw, though it aligned with the same service’s assessment that gave Le Puy Foot a 65.3% probability of winning.

Le Puy Foot established its lead in the 24th minute through defender Djessine Seba, who found the net to give the visitors an early advantage they would not relinquish. The goal set the tone for a first half dominated by the away side.

Just before halftime, Le Puy Foot doubled its margin. Substitute Moussa Faty, introduced earlier in the half, scored in the 44th minute to extend the lead to 2-0. Faty’s immediate impact provided a significant boost heading into the break.

Concarneau, playing its first match of the National 1 campaign at home, struggled to generate consistent offensive threats against a disciplined Le Puy Foot defense. The host’s frustrations grew in the second half as they failed to cut into the deficit.

The match’s only disciplinary note came in the 63rd minute when Le Puy Foot’s Faty received a yellow card. However, it did little to disrupt his team’s rhythm.

Le Puy Foot put the result beyond any doubt in the 77th minute with a third goal. Another substitute, Plamedi Nsingi, found the back of the net to seal the comprehensive 3-0 victory. Faty was also credited with an assist on the final goal, completing a productive outing with one goal and one assist.

The victory gives Le Puy Foot a perfect start to the National 1 season, moving its record to one win and no losses. Across all competitions, the team also stands at one win and no losses. For Concarneau, the defeat marks a disappointing beginning, as its records in National 1 and across all competitions now sit at zero wins and one loss.

The match highlighted the depth of Le Puy Foot’s squad, with substitutes directly contributing to two of the three goals. The team will look to build on this momentum in its next fixture, while Concarneau seeks to regroup and find its form after an opening-day shutout at home.
