La Roche Vendée took all three points with a 1-0 win at US Orléans in National 1. Mouhamadou Samb's goal midway through the second half was the only strike of the match.
The first half ended goalless, with Thomas Allemand booked in the 34th minute. Five minutes after the restart, Samb converted Momar N'diaye's assist to make it 0-1. Abou Ba, Marius Le Maître and Ismael Dramé were also shown yellow cards as the game tightened.
Samb was the decisive figure, his goal separating the sides. With no possession or shot data available, the scoreline and the four bookings provide the clearest picture of a tight contest.
