MONTBÉLIARD, France (March 27, 2026) (Interstat) — FC Sochaux-Montbeliard began its National 1 campaign with a 2-0 home victory over Rouen on Friday at Stade Auguste-Bonal. Forward Benjamin Gomel scored both goals, striking in the 51st and 61st minutes to secure the win. Substitute Joseph Atangana assisted on both tallies. Rouen, which saw Atangana receive a yellow card in the 29th minute, was shut out in its season opener. The result defied a pre-match projection from Interstat, which had simulated a 1-1 draw. Sochaux-Montbeliard starts the season 1-0-0, while Rouen falls to 0-1-0.
