This is called setting the record straight. There was beginning to be a scent of worry in Saint-Etienne, with three defeats in four days, including two straight setbacks at Geoffroy-Guichard and a slap received at Annecy (4-0). The Greens reacted perfectly by signing a huge card against Pau (6-0), this Tuesday evening, during the 12th day of Ligue 2.
While Eirik Horneland had made strong choices, notably leaving Stassin and Davitashvili on the bench, ASSE made the talk in the first period, thanks to Ferreira (2nd), Cardona (11th), Tardieu (41st sp.) and Duffus (44th). The latter scored a double after returning from the locker room (48th), then Davitashvili invited himself to the party (79th).
Reims is also a hit
Saint-Etienne passes its evening opponent and also takes advantage of Red Star's defeat at Dunkirk (3-0) to climb to second place in the standings, four points behind the Trojan leader. Estac, for its part, did not tremble to defeat Amiens (3-1), notably with a new double from Tawfik Bentayeb, the home scorer.
The other card of the evening is for Reims, which largely won in Boulogne (2-6), with doubles for Ibrahim and Nakamura, and which passes Montpellier (1-1 in Clermont) and Le Mans (1-1 in Laval in the derby). At the bottom of the table, the good operation is for Nancy, who pushed the Bastiaise red lantern (2-0).
