Augustin Chantrel

Augustin Chantrel (11 November 1906 - 4 September 1956)[1] was a French footballer who played as a halfback.

He represented France at the 1928 Olympic Football Tournament[2] and at the 1930 FIFA World Cup.

[10] He was part of the France squad for the 1928 Olympic Tournament playing in their only match, a 4–3 loss to Italy.

[13] During the first half of the first match against Mexico, with the score 1–0 in favour of France, goalkeeper Alex Thépot suffered an injury after a collision with a Mexican player, and was unable to continue playing.

Substitutions were not allowed at the time, and Chantrel, a halfback, replaced Thépot in goal from the 24th minute until the end of the match, which France won.
