AS Saint-Etienne : ASSE has free kick specialists in its ranks | ASSE News

Inoffensive in the game, apart from a header from Mahdi Camara, AS Saint-Étienne could have relied on the set pieces to pick up the score. It was still necessary to pull them properly, which was not the case.

However, Saint-Étienne has very skilful players in this exercise and more precisely on a direct free kick. Better still, the two best free kick scorers among active players are Stéphanois.

Wahbi Khazri with eight goals scored from a direct free kick and Ryad Boudebouz with six achievements. Angel Di Maria and Dimitri Payet also total six goals in this area reports Opta. Unfortunately, the two players were missing from the Greens at Groupama Stadium, one at CAN, the other affected by COVID-19.
