CONCARNEAU, France (Interstat) — A dramatic stoppage-time equalizer from substitute Sohan Baldoni salvaged a 1-1 draw for Concarneau against Dijon in a National 1 match on Friday afternoon at Stade Guy Piriou.

The result, which mirrored the pregame projection from Interstat’s simulator, left both clubs with identical records to open their league campaigns: no wins, no losses and one draw.

Dijon, the visiting side, struck early against the run of play. In the 14th minute, substitute Quentin Bernard found the net to give his team an unexpected lead. Bernard had entered the match as a replacement and made an immediate impact, punishing a Concarneau side that had entered the match as statistical favorites. Interstat’s ELO system had given the home team a 58.5 percent probability of securing a victory.

Concarneau controlled large stretches of possession but struggled to break down a disciplined Dijon defense for the remainder of the match. The home side’s frustrations grew as the clock ticked into second-half stoppage time, with Dijon seemingly poised to secure all three points on the road.

The match’s physical intensity was reflected in a pair of late yellow cards. Dijon’s Júlio Tavares was booked in the 70th minute, and Concarneau’s Mathéo Ntumi received a caution in the third minute of added time.

Just as the final whistle seemed imminent, Concarneau mounted one last desperate attack. The persistence paid off in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Ntumi, who had been cautioned moments earlier, provided a crucial assist, setting up fellow forward Baldoni for the decisive finish. Baldoni’s last-gasp goal sparked celebrations among the home supporters and ensured the points were shared.

The draw provides each team with its first point of the National 1 season. Both Concarneau and Dijon will view the result as a foundation to build upon, with the home side likely relieved to have avoided a defeat after dominating the probabilities, while the visitors will rue conceding so late after a resilient defensive display.
