CHALLANS, France (Interstat) — FC Challans earned a 3-0 victory over AS La Chataigneraie in a National 3 match Saturday at Stade Jean Léveillé. The home side won convincingly despite playing a man down for nearly the entire second half after Alex Merceron received a red card in the 51st minute.

Rodney Mazikou opened the scoring for Challans in the 18th minute. The result was sealed by two late goals, an 83rd-minute own goal from La Chataigneraie defender Lorenzo Dosso and a 90th-minute strike from Valentin Rémy. Evan Goret, who was later shown a yellow card, provided an assist for Challans. The final score exceeded the statistical projection for the contest.
