Once is not custom, Saint-Etienne received Paris FC this Saturday in the opening match of the 12th day of Ligue 2 in a Geoffroy-Guichard stadium almost full to bursting, a stand remains closed because of uses of pyrotechnic devices during previous encounters. The weather was also nice, all the ingredients were there for a great party. However, this one was spoiled by the opponent of the day. Coming to Forez to finish off an injured beast, the capital club quickly made its mark. Alimani Gory stumbled on Etienne Green while Lebogang Phiri missed an opportunity in or in stride, in front of the empty cage (11th). Significantly more dangerous, visitors confirmed the trend before the rest with in quick succession a header over the frame from Julien Le Cardinal (45th+1) and an acrobatic return from Morgan Guilavogui close to the crossbar (45th+2).
Threatening from a set piece, Julien Le Cardinal exceeded his duties as a side defender on the hour mark to deceive Etienne Green with a subtle lob and reward Parisian hegemony (0-1, 60th). The Greens then reacted but from a main farm, Ivan Filipovic repelled a low shot from Louis Mouton (73rd). Barely a minute later, Mickael Nade missed a seemingly easy ball (74th). ASSE missed the boat and quickly regretted it. Despite the expulsion of the Croatian goalkeeper from the PFC for a foul on Ibrahima Wadji costing him a second warning (76th), Thierry Laurey’s men took the coup de grace to the Greens through Mehdi Chahiri. Warren Caddy stumbled on the upright but his teammate for his part did not miss the target after a victorious dribble against Etienne Green (0-2, 82nd).
Saint-Etienne goes on a 4th meeting without success and occupies a dangerous 18th place ahead of Nîmes and Niort who also have eight points in the standings. Already critical, the situation of Foréziens is becoming even more complicated. Unlike the Parisians who sign a second happy trip. The PFC travels well since it remains on four games without defeat away from home. In the Ligue 2 hierarchy, this translates into a virtual 8th position before the continuation of this 12th episode of the championship.
