International Club Friendly | 12 July 2026, 00:00

Quevilly Rouen Métropole played out a goalless draw with an UNFP (French players’ union) selection in a pre-season friendly that offered little action in front of goal. Both sides prioritised fitness work over risking injuries, resulting in a quiet contest.

Match Overview

The match was played at a controlled tempo, with Quevilly enjoying the majority of possession but failing to turn it into clear-cut chances. The UNFP side, made up of unattached professionals and free agents, defended resolutely and had a few promising counter-attacks of their own. However, neither goalkeeper was seriously tested over the 90 minutes.

Key Moments

• 25’ – Quevilly chance: A long-range effort forced the UNFP keeper into a routine save.
• 58’ – UNFP reply: A cross from the right was headed just over the bar.
• 78’ – Best chance: Quevilly’s substitute striker saw his close-range shot blocked by a last-ditch tackle.

Tactical Story

Quevilly lined up in a 4-2-3-1 and tried to build through the midfield, but the UNFP team’s compact shape limited space in the final third. The second half saw numerous substitutions on both sides, breaking any potential rhythm. Neither team was willing to take unnecessary risks so early in pre-season.

Context

For Quevilly, this was part of their build-up to the upcoming Ligue 2 season. The draw gives them a steady workout without any injury concerns. The UNFP selection provided a useful test for both sets of players, especially those looking to earn contracts.

The result leaves Quevilly still searching for their first pre-season win, but the coaching staff will be pleased with the clean sheet and the minutes given to squad players.
