AS Saint-Etienne hoped to revive in the Cauldron after four defeats in a row in Ligue 2 but the Greens sank again against En Avant Guingamp (1-3), Tuesday during the 17th day.
The crisis is total at AS Saint-Etienne. Laurent Batlles’ team recorded its fifth defeat in a row in Ligue 2 when En Avant Guingamp (1-3) came on Tuesday evening during the 17th day. The Greens thought they were on the right track by opening the scoring through Aimen Moueffek (21st), but a Costa Rican equalizer disrupted the dynamics of the match. Baptiste Guillaume (55th) and Gaëtan Courtet (87th) gave victory to their team, 6th in the ranking.
The Stéphanois players, who are now 8th, went to ask for forgiveness from Geoffroy-Guichard’s ultras after the meeting and Anthony Briançon, speaking to beIN Sports, then reacted: “ They are disappointed with our performances, it is not worthy of the objectives that the club has set and that we have set for ourselves. They expressed their dissatisfaction, these are people who make sacrifices to come see us and we do not respond. “.
This 17th day marks the change of leader since Laval lost in Ajaccio (2-0, with a first Corsican goal validated even though the ball may not have crossed the line). Angers took the opportunity to take the lead with a one point lead, thanks to a success against Grenoble (1-0). Auxerre remains third in the standings, in ambush, after taking three points from Concarneau (1-2).
