Ghana goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi was an unused substitute as Sochaux opened their French Ligue 2 side 2-0 win over Bourg en Bresse Peronnas.
Head coach Peter Zeidler decided to start Frenchman Maxence Prevot between the sticks.
The 20-year-old passed the test as goals from Alddo Kalulu and Sofiane Daham gave them the points.
Ati-Zigi signed a three-year deal from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg in search of regular playing time.
