French Championnat National Round: US Orléans 1-1 Le Puy Foot 43 Auvergne. The fixture at Stade de la Source on September 6, 2025, ended in a 1-1 draw between US Orléans and newly-promoted Le Puy Foot. This share of the points was a fair reflection of a closely contested match where both teams had periods of dominance. Orléans started brightly and were rewarded with an opening goal from a set-piece midway through the first half. Le Puy Foot grew into the game and their persistence paid off with a deserved equalizer in the 65th minute, stemming from a precise cross and a powerful header. The key incident saw Orléans have a goal disallowed for a marginal offside call after a VAR check, which could have won them the match.
