AS Saint-Etienne : End of series for the Greens | ASSE News

The strongest won this Saturday afternoon. In a Cauldron amputated of its four lungs, Rennes displayed more control than Saint-Étienne and won 3/0. Achievements by Nayef Aguerd head (34th), Serhou Guirassy with an acrobatic gesture (54th) and Adrien Hunou in the last minutes (89th). Arnaud Nordin believed to revive the Greens at the start of the second half, but his goal was refused by the VAR for offside (47th). The Greens are no longer undefeated in Ligue 1 and lose the Ligue 1 chair … to their opponent of the day.

The top

Harold Moukoudi. He did not show his best face in Nantes last Sunday. This time he was level. He made a good comeback in front of Martin Terrier, recovering the ball from a nice slipped tackle (12th). He also broke a good Rennes counter-attack with an important interception (32nd). He displayed more serenity than in Nantes.
Yvann Mason was also interesting on some offensives.

The flop

Denis Bouanga. He lived a match without. He spoiled a superb action by missing his shot (his cross?) In the 19th minute of play, while he was alone in the Rennes penalty area. He was less active than the other three forwards and missed some easy ball catches. A match to forget for the Gabonese.
We can also evoke the stadium without the supporters. The match was played in almost total closed session this afternoon (only 500 partners were present). Without the pressure of the supporters, the Cauldron is no longer the Cauldron …

The fact of the match

Arnaud Nordin’s equalizer refused for a few centimeters. We have just returned from the locker room and ASSE has good intentions. On a shot pushed back from Yvann Maçon, Arnaud Nordin believes to equalize (47th). But the goal is finally invalidated for a slight offside. Pity.
