The summary of the match between Angers and ASSE in the 20th day of Ligue 1
The meeting begins with a big scare. On the Angevin corner, the Saint-Etienne defense is not there, fortunately Bakary Sako saves his team on the line. Bakary Sako will be one of the most interesting Greens in the first half but leaves on injury after feeling a pain in the thigh a few minutes before the break, replaced by Bouanga.
Another interesting striker is Nordin. He was a poison for the Saint-Etienne defense and even offered himself the most dangerous opportunity of the period. As much defensively, ASSE is feverish, as much offensively, it is more present. Far too many clumsiness to be dangerous with each shot but this offensive pressure will be paid for by a goal in the 43rd minute, an own goal from Mendi following a cross from Maçon.
On the clumsy side, Mason showed a lot of waste: missed checks, missed passes, raises in the axis. But he is far from the only one: Bouanga, Thioub or even, at times, Boudebouz, are illustrated by many bad technical and tactical choices. On the plus side: Nadé, Moueffek will be the best Saint-Etienne in the game. Solid all the way.
The first half of the second period is much more complicated. Indeed, the SCO takes the game in hand. The Greens have backed down and often stammer their football. ASSE is undergoing. Fortunately, the Angevins lack inspiration.
While thethe Greens are playing out of breath in the last quarter of an hour, Camara’s excellent physique allows him to float and keep his team out of the water.
At the end of the suspense, ASSE resists and wins this match. Three very, very, very important points. Still last, the Greens go back two lengths from the 19th (Lorient) and four from the barrage (Metz)
