AS Saint-Etienne fell Saturday in Rodez in additional time, on the occasion of the 2nd day of Ligue 2. A cruel scenario identical to that experienced a week earlier.
The start of the AS Saint-Etienne season ticks all the nightmare boxes. A week after conceding a defeat at home to Grenoble in added time (0-1, 90th + 1 – 1st day of Ligue 2), the formation coached by Laurent Batlles experienced the same outcome.
Saturday in Rodez, after insane scenes observed in the visitor parking lot, the Greens cracked, again in money-time. The RAF won thanks to a goal from Lucas Buades (2-1, 90th + 5) at the start of the second round of L2.

The Aveyron striker has not been unknown since the end of last season. The attack he was subjected to in Bordeaux (38th day), by a spectator, had caused the loss of the meeting on green carpet and the end of hopes of a rise in Ligue 1 for the Girondins.
