Beaten by Laval before the break, Caen was unable to move forward against Saint-Etienne this Saturday.

In D’Ornano as part of the 6^e lifted from Ligue 2, the Normans lost 1-2, surprised by Tardieu (30^e on penalty) and Sissoko (88^e).

The essential Mendy struck well for Stade Malherbe in added time (90^e+4). Too late, however, to spare the Caennais a second consecutive setback.

Furlan’s men risk losing leadership this weekend, to the benefit of Amiens or Laval. ASSE, for its part, takes advantage of this second success of the season to temporarily enter the first part of the table.
