ASSE 1 – Brest 2
Once again, the Greens were knocked down after leading in the score. Once again, they let slip three precious points, the ones that hit the symbolic bar of maintenance.
Brest turned the situation in his favor in thirteen minutes in the second half thanks to a double from Gaëtan Charbonnier on a free kick (1-1, 66th) and an unstoppable shot after easily getting rid of Harold Moukoudi (1-2, 79th).
The Greens miss the break
The Stéphanois were in front for more than an hour thanks to Wahbi Khazri served by Arnaud Nordin, author of a good pressing in the Brest defense (1-0, 10th) and were punished for not having been able to score during their strong time per hour of play.
The never-found attacking trio Khazri-Aouchiche-Nordin are replaced by Hamouma, Abi and Monnet-Paquet (54 ‘). This dynamites the match, started again on a false rhythm. But neither Youssouf (56th), who does not fit nor Camara (63rd) or Hamouma (64th), stumbling over a huge Larsonneur, can not materialize the highlight of the Greens. Who are punished in the wake.
Étienne Green had delayed the deadline (20, 42nd, 70th, 76th), his crossbar too (44th) and he was very happy to see Perraud’s volley brush against his skylight (45th + 2). ASSE were dominated by their opponents on Saturday afternoon in the Cauldron, scoring just 35 percent possession in the first half, 57 percent in the second, and technical waste that was often problematic.
The Greens fall one place and are 14th with 39 points before the other games of Matchday 34. The maintenance is not yet acquired before making two trips to Montpellier and Lille, interspersed with the reception of Marseille.
