At the end of an unspectacular meeting, Saint-Etienne and Angers neutralized (0-0) this Friday at the opening of the 14th day of Ligue 1. The Greens have an 11th match without a win in the league.
The Stphanois and Angevins neutralized each other.
The bad series of AS Saint-Etienne continues… Held in check by Angers (0-0) this Friday on the 14th day of Ligue 1, the Stphanois club thus continues an 11th game without a win in the league.
On this part, the attacks did not shine in the face of the attentive guards. In the standings, ASSE stagnates in 15th position while the SCO is still provisionally in 7th place.
A first soporific period …
In the first minutes, the Greens struggled in the game against the high pressing of the SCO. Subsequently, even without obtaining the slightest opportunity, the Stphanois had control of the ball with Angevins ready to spring on blocks. With technical inaccuracies on both sides approaching the truth, the game was having trouble settling …
Then after 30 minutes of play, Angers finally got the first big opportunity of the match with a nice parade of Moulin in front of Cabot! In reaction, Saint-Etienne projected but Bouanga intervened involuntarily to counter a dangerous strike from Boudebouz… Until the break, not much was happening in this meeting.
Moulin and Bernardoni attentive
When they got back from the locker room, the Angevins were on the verge of opening the scoring but Moulin made a superb stop on a close range head from Fulgini which was lost on the post! The match finally got carried away with the response of Bouanga, author of a small festival before a duel lost in front of Bernardoni. Two actions to definitely launch this game? Yes !
The Greens showed other intentions with a nice long shot from Neyou deflected by Bernardoni then two dangerous non-managerial heads from Moukoudi and Kolodziejczak. Unfortunately, this improvement was short-lived with an increasingly important technical waste. Despite a final strike from Neyou pushed back by Bernardoni, the two teams were sorely lacking in inspiration and parted with this goalless draw.
The score of the match: 4/10
A match of rather poor quality. If the two teams did not deserve in the desire and the intensity, the rhythm was irregular and especially the proposed spectacle was not grandiose because of a big technical waste. Thus, the occasions were rather rare and the two formations had difficulty packing this meeting.
Player NOTES
Maxifoot awarded a rating (out of 10) for each player’s comments.
Man of the match: Jessy Moulin (6.5 / 10)
A good copy! The goalkeeper of AS Saint-Etienne deserved to be attentive. Little worried for a long time, the goalkeeper of the Greens was irreproachable in his first intervention during a duel against Cabot. In the crowd, he had an excellent outing at the feet of the Angevin. Solid on his rare interventions the image of a head of Fulgini turned on his post.
ST ETIENNE :
Jessy Moulin (6.5): read the comment above.
Mathieu Debuchy (6): the captain of AS Saint-Etienne brings his combativeness. On several occasions, the right lateral has been limited in terms of aggression, but it sets the tone. Despite some lost balls, he was reassuring for his team the image of his intervention of the head to prevent a big situation of Bahoken in the first period.
Harold Moukoudi (6): the central defender of AS Saint-Etienne had a big fight against Bahoken. And overall, the Stphanois behaved well in this duel with several authoritarian interventions in the air field. Rarely faulted, he was serious.
Timothe Kolodziejczak (5.5): a decent performance overall for the central defender of AS Saint-Etienne. However, in Cabot’s two big situations in the first half, he missed his interventions as taken by the speed of his opponent. But it did limit the damage to the overall game.
Miguel Trauco (5): the left side of AS Saint-Etienne did not necessarily show a reassuring face on this part. In his hallway, he was active but struggled defensively against Cabot’s acceleration. The best actions of the SCO came from its side …
Denis Bouanga (4): a disappointing copy for the attacking midfielder of AS Saint-Etienne. Free in his positioning, the former Nmois was particularly imprecise in his transmissions and spoiled several interesting situations for his team. Not in the game, he was even unhappy by deflecting a dangerous shot from Boudebouz. He was still the author of a flash in the second period, but aimed at Bernardoni. Replace the 88th minute with Lucas Gourna-Douath (not rated).
Yvan Neyou (6): the midfielder of AS Saint-Etienne was invaluable to the recovery. With his volume of play, he scratched several balls and suddenly interesting situations for Angers. We can however regret some technical inaccuracies in his forward game. Despite everything, he brought danger on two long strikes well repelled by Bernardoni.
Mahdi Camara (4.5): just like his team, the AS Saint-Etienne midfielder stood out above all for his imprecision. In the heart of the game, he struggled with the pressing of Angers and was messy in his passes. Too much technical waste to make any difference. Replace the 88th minute with Maxence Rivera (not rated).
Arnaud Nordin (4.5): the winger of AS Saint-Etienne has displayed a discreet face. Generous in his efforts, he did not hesitate to take the chance and offer his teammates solutions. However, we can still regret a lack of impact in the zone of truth to create danger. Replace the 59th minute with Wahbi Khazri (not rated).
Ryad Boudebouz (5.5): tenured in support of Hamouma, the attacking midfielder of AS Saint-Etienne was, without a doubt, the most dangerous player in his team. In the right rhythm, he combined well with his partners and was able to project himself to try to score. In the first period, the former Hraultais scored a nice strike… against by Bouanga. Less active after the break. Replace the 73rd minute with Adil Aouchiche (not rated).
Romain Hamouma (5): in his stalls and his movements, the striker of AS Saint-Etienne was good to change balls with his teammates. But as a construction, it cannot be the finish… And in the zone of truth, it was simply non-existent. A problem when you occupy the position of attacker. Replace the 73rd minute with Charles Abi (not rated).
ANGERS :
Paul Bernardoni (6.5): the Angers goalkeeper did not need to force his talent on this meeting. With uninspired Stphanois, he simply had easy interventions. And while he could have trembled on a strike from Boudebouz, the ex-Bordelais was saved by Bouanga at the end of the first period. Back from the locker room, he was impeccable in front of Bouanga and then on Neyou’s two long strikes.
Vincent Manceau (5.5): in his right lane, the Angers side performed a decent performance. Despite a voluntary Nordin against him, the Angevin limited the damage and never seemed in difficulty on the offensives of the Stphanois in his zone.
Ismal Traor (5.5): the captain of Angers was serious. Despite some risky raises to ward off the danger, the central defender of the SCO was not caught on the offensives of the Stphanois and recovered many balls. In the duels, he was generally domineering.
Romain Thomas (5.5): just like his teammate in central defense, Angevin was not in danger in this part. With uninspired Stphanois, he was rather quiet and played in an armchair, in his interventions but also his reminders.
Souleyman Doumbia (6): the left side of Angers won the majority of his duels. From the start of the game, he marked his territory with an authoritarian but lawful intervention on Boudebouz in the area. Subsequently, he was very well managed with the Stphanois offensives and even allowed himself some interesting climbs.
Thomas Mangani (5.5): in a defensive role, the Angers midfielder was correct. Without breaking the screen, he scratched several balls and was content to play simple to revive the game of his team. Be careful all the same some difficulties to keep pace on the cons of AS Saint-Etienne. Replace the 82nd minute with Pierrick Capelle (not rated).
Lassana Coulibaly (5): just like Mangani, the Angers midfielder did not deserve in the midfield. In his volume of play, he was really generous and ran a lot to participate in the aggressive pressing of his team. In the use of the ball, the Angevin however displayed technical shortcomings.
Jimmy Cabot (6): the Angers winger was a real problem for the players of AS Saint-Etienne. With his vivacity, he was able to create danger, but was not successful in the last move with two duels lost in front of Moulin. Despite everything, he was the source of many good moves, especially on Fulgini’s big opportunity. Replace the 67th minute with Farid El Melali (not rated).
Angelo Fulgini (6): in form in recent weeks, Angers’s attacking midfielder was still interesting on Friday. Attractive in the game with a real ability to break lines with the ball, he was the source of many good moves and was dangerous with that head turned by Moulin on his post. Replace the 82nd minute with Antonin Bobichon (not rated).
Mathias Pereira Lage (5): less in sight than Cabot or Fulgini, the Angers midfielder has not yet been deserved. Well in the fight, he made some interesting combinations with his teammates and was the cross author on Fulgini’s big chance. The former Clermontois, however, lacked precision on several actions. Replace the 73rd minute with Mohamed-Ali Cho (not rated).
Stphane Bahoken (4): Angers center-forward was not up to par on this meeting. Despite the good movements of his partners, he was generally harmless with many duels lost against central defenders from Stphanois. Throughout the match, the striker was never able to get the slightest chance. Replace the 73rd minute with Los Diony (not rated).
