The Greens continue to sink. Dangerously even. After being crushed by Rennes (5-0) and beaten at home by OM (0-2), AS Saint-Etienne continued its bad series in Toulouse, this Friday evening at the opening of the 14e Ligue 1 day
Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men long believed they could bring the point back from the draw, but they finally cracked at the end of the game, losing 2-1, following a headed goal from Moroccan Zakaria Aboukhlal (2-1.85e), at the extreme limit of offside. They even briefly hoped to bring victory back to Forez.
Great first for Stassin
Indeed, the Greens opened the scoring at the start of the second half with their first shot of the match. A goal signed by the most expensive recruit in the club’s history (10 million euros), Lucas Stassin (1-0, 53e), his very first of the season. A short-lived joy, Shavy Babicka equalizing two minutes later (1-1, 55e).
ASSE, which was not unworthy, had possession of the ball and some good chances in the second half, but in the end fell again. The Stéphanois are 16e of the ranking with only one point ahead of Le Havre (17e), which hosts Strasbourg on Sunday. For its part, the TFC signs a fifth success in seven matches and temporarily settles in 8e position.
