US Orléans experienced a moment of great tension after their goalkeeper Charly Jan was sent off, penalized with a red card for a foul resulting in a penalty.

Problem: there was no substitute goalkeeper on the bench, forcing the Orléans staff to improvise urgently.

It was midfielder Grégory Berthier who then put on the gloves. Thrust into the goal without specific warm-up, the USO player turned into a hero by saving Fofana's penalty, to the applause of the crowd.

Berthier's decisive save overshadowed Orléans' defeat against the visitors (1-2).
