Saint-Etienne back in the foreground

AS Saint-Etienne got the better of AS Nancy-Lorraine this Saturday evening for the 15th act of Ligue 2. A necessary victory signed with a score of 2-1.

Thanks to the achievements of Cardona (27th) and Tardieu (51st from the penalty spot) – when Bokangu revived the ASNL for a time – the Greens were able to achieve three successes, the Coupe de France included.

So here they are back in second place in the ranking – with a virtual direct ticket to the elite – just ahead of Red Star and two lengths behind the Trojan leader. It’s more complicated for Nancy, 15th without the slightest unit of margin compared to the red zone.

ASSE-Nancy, the lines at kick-off

The Saint-Etienne eleven: Larsonneur – Ferreira, Bernauer, Nadé, Annan, Jaber – Tardieu, Moueffek – Cardona, Boakye, Davitashvili.

The Nancy eleven: Basilio – Mendy, Saint-Ruf, Fernandez, Bamba – Tacafred, Carlier, Bouriaud, Suljic – Bokangu, Bouabdeli.
